Memory and resource tracking drive blue whale migrations
In terrestrial systems, the green wave hypothesis posits that migrating animals can enhance
foraging opportunities by tracking phenological variation in high-quality forage across space …

Predator‐scale spatial analysis of intra‐patch prey distribution reveals the energetic drivers of rorqual whale super‐group formation
Animals are distributed relative to the resources they rely upon, often scaling in abundance
relative to available resources. Yet, in heterogeneously distributed environments, describing …

Acoustic signature reveals blue whales tune life‐history transitions to oceanographic conditions
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 …

The long-term ecology and evolution of marine reptiles in a Jurassic seaway
Marine reptiles flourished in the Mesozoic oceans, filling ecological roles today dominated
by crocodylians, large fish, sharks and cetaceans. Many groups of these reptiles coexisted …
