Decompression theory has been mainly based on studies on terrestrial mammals, and may
not translate well to marine mammals. However, evidence that marine mammals experience …

Wild animals are under selective pressure to optimise energy budgets; therefore, quantifying
energy expenditure, intake and allocation to specific activities is important if we are to …

We analysed 3680 dives from 23 satellite-linked tags deployed on Cuvier's beaked whales
to assess the relationship between long duration dives and inter-deep dive intervals and to …

Energy expenditure is an important component of foraging ecology, but is extremely difficult
to estimate in free‐ranging animals and depends on how animals partition their time …

High‐resolution dive depth and acceleration recordings from nearshore (Sarasota Bay, dive
depth< 30 m), and offshore (Bermuda) bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops spp.) were used to …

Estimates of the energetic costs of locomotion (COL) at different activity levels are necessary
to answer fundamental eco-physiological questions and to understand the impacts of …

The accurate estimation of field metabolic rates (FMR) in wild animals is a key component of
bioenergetic models, and is important for understanding the routine limitations for survival as …

We used satellite‐linked tags to evaluate dive behavior in offshore bottlenose dolphins
(Tursiops spp.) near the island of Bermuda. The data provide evidence that bottlenose …

Otariids exhibit a semiaquatic lifestyle, feeding in the water and breeding and resting on
land. Fur seals and sea lions, the two groups of otariids, exhibit an overall income breeding …

Recent cetacean mass strandings in close temporal and spatial association with sonar
activity has raised the concern that anthropogenic sound may harm breath-hold diving …
