The mesopelagic zone of the northeast Pacific Ocean is an important foraging habitat for
many predators, yet few studies have addressed the factors driving basin-scale predator …

Recent advances in satellite tagging technologies have provided scientists growing
opportunities to resolve previously unknown spatial ecology of marine predators, including …

Environmental changes (a type of disturbance) are altering the habitat of southern elephant
seals Mirounga leonina, an apex marine predator in the Southern Ocean. As a result …

Satellite telemetry data are a key source of animal distribution information for marine
ecosystem management and conservation activities. We used two decades of telemetry data …

Over the past few decades the field of biogeo graphy has expanded with rapid technological
and methodological developments. Th Page 1 Published by the Scientific Committee on …

Marine ecosystems are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic disturbances that cause
animals to change behavior and move away from potential foraging grounds. Here we …

We review present understanding of the spatial and temporal diet variability
(trophodynamics) of a range of pelagic marine top predators, at both early and adult life …

Colonial seabirds are relatively easy to observe, count, measure and manipulate, and
consequently have long been used as models for testing ecological hypotheses. A …

Addressing important questions in animal ecology, physiology, and environmental science
often requires in situ information from wild animals. This difficulty is being overcome by …

Highly pelagic large marine vertebrates have evolved the capability of moving across large
expanses of the marine environment; some species routinely move across entire ocean …
