has ever existed by feeding exclusively upon dense but patchy schools of pelagic …

All reserve designs must be guided by an understanding of natural history and habitat
variability. 2. Differences in scale and predictability set aside highly dynamic pelagic …

Lunge feeding by rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) is associated with a high energetic cost
that decreases diving capacity, thereby limiting access to dense prey patches at depth …
