Species can show strong variation of local abundance across their ranges. Recent analyses
suggested that variation in abundance can be related to environmental suitability, as the …

A crucial first step in assessing and managing the role and impacts of predators on their
environment is knowledge on their foraging behaviour and diet. Here, we synthesize …

Historic hunting has led to severe reductions of many marine mammal species across the
globe. After hunting ceased, some populations have recovered to pre‐exploitation levels …

The availability of data on the feeding habits of species of conservation value may be of
great importance to develop analyses for both scientific and management purposes …

Food webs consist of numerous connections between consumers and resources that can
couple adjacent ecosystems together by the movement of nutrients, prey, and consumers …

Alaskan seals are found in remote and sometimes inaccessible locations, making it difficult
to collect time‐series information. This study explores a novel method to examine temporal …
