The importance of sample size in marine megafauna tagging studies
Telemetry is a key, widely used tool to understand marine megafauna distribution, habitat
use, behavior, and physiology; however, a critical question remains:“How many animals …

Overhauling ocean spatial planning to improve marine megafauna conservation
Tracking data have led to evidence-based conservation of marine megafauna, but a
disconnect remains between the many 1000s of individual animals that have been tracked …

Spatial segregation between immatures and adults in a pelagic seabird suggests age‐related competition
Individual competitiveness conditions access to resources when they are limited. Immature
individuals that are less skilled than adults have to adapt their foraging strategies to survive …
