Evidence of social learning is growing across the animal kingdom. Researchers have long
hypothesized that social interactions play a key role in many animal migrations, but strong …

Animal migration plays a central role in many ecological and evolutionary processes, yet
migratory populations worldwide are increasingly threatened. Adjusting migration timing to …

Bulk filter feeding has enabled gigantism throughout evolutionary history. The largest
animals, extant rorqual whales, utilize intermittent engulfment filtration feeding (lunge …

Trophic transfer of energy through marine food webs is strongly influenced by prey
aggregation and its exploitation by predators. Rapid aggregation of some marine fish and …

Matching the timing of life‐history transitions with ecosystem phenology is critical for the
survival of many species, especially those undertaking long‐distance migrations. As a result …

Group‐hunting is ubiquitous across animal taxa and has received considerable attention in
the context of its functions. By contrast much less is known about the mechanisms by which …

Animal behavior is motivated by the fundamental need to feed and reproduce, and these
behaviors can be inferred from spatiotemporal variations in biological signals such as …

Marine predators face the challenge of reliably finding prey that is patchily distributed in
space and time. Predators make movement decisions at multiple spatial and temporal …

Human disturbance is contributing to widespread, global changes in the distributions and
densities of wild animals. These anthropogenic impacts on wildlife arise from multiple …

The NOAA-NPS Ocean Noise Reference Station Network (NRS) is a passive acoustic
monitoring effort to record the low-frequency (< 2 kHz) sound field throughout the US …
