Factors affecting stroking patterns and body angle in diving Weddell seals under natural conditions
Aquatic animals use a variety of strategies to reduce the energetic cost of locomotion.
Efficient locomotion is particularly important for breath-holding divers because high levels of …

Unravelling the mysteries of a mesopelagic diet: a large apex predator specializes on small prey
To gain insight into the foraging behaviour of deep diving seals, we developed a long‐term
jaw‐motion recorder, which successfully measured the feeding attempts of four post …
