Determining the movement of marine animals is logistically difficult and is currently primarily
based on VHF and satellite-tracking telemetry, GPS, acoustic telemetry, and geolocation, all …

Marine predators will often perform diel and seasonal movements associated with specific
habitats. In tropical areas, mesophotic coral reefs may be an important habitat type for many …

Background Research on wild animal ecology is increasingly employing GPS telemetry in
order to determine animal movement. However, GPS systems record position intermittently …

Identifying the reasons for the loss of signals in satellite tracking studies is important for
directing future improvements in transmitter technology and attachment systems, as well as …

The ability to define and quantify the behaviour and energetic costs of different activities is
fundamental to a full understanding of fish ecology and movement, but monitoring activity …

Aim Predicting distribution patterns of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus, Smith 1828) in the
open ocean remains elusive owing to few pelagic records. We developed multivariate …

Suspension feeders (SFs) evolved a high diversity of mechanisms, sometimes with
remarkably convergent morphologies, to retain plankton, detritus and man-made particles …

1. Reproductive fitness is often compromised at the margins of a species' range due to sub-
optimal conditions. 2. Set against this backdrop, the Mediterranean's largest loggerhead sea …

Activity patterns of animals often relate to environmental variables such as food availability
and predation pressure. Technological advances are providing us with new tools to monitor …

Dramatic population declines among species of pelagic shark as a result of overfishing have
been reported, with some species now at a fraction of their historical biomass. Advanced …
