The number of scientific papers resulting from biologging instruments deployed on marine
mammals is increasing as improved technologies result in smaller devices and improved …

Responses by marine top predators to environmental variability have previously been
almost impossible to observe directly. By using animal-mounted instruments simultaneously …

Anoxic turtles accumulate high levels of lactate in blood. To avoid fatal acidosis, turtles
exploit buffer reserves in their large mineralized shell. The shell acts by releasing calcium …

Establishing where and when predators forage is essential to understanding trophic
interactions, yet foraging behavior remains poorly understood in large marine carnivores …

General ecological information resulting from modern dive studies has been limited because
analyses and conclusions are study‐and species‐specific. In this work, a series of unrelated …

This study examined the foraging locations of lactating female and pre‐breeding adult male
South American sea lions Otaria flavescens in the Patagonian continental shelf, south‐west …

The rich zooplankton, fish and squid resources on the Patagonian Shelf sustain substantial
populations of largely resident seabirds and marine mammals. These habitats are also …

Locomotion is one of the major energetic costs faced by animals and various strategies have
evolved to reduce its cost. Birds use interspersed periods of flapping and gliding to reduce …

The evolution of resource specializations is poorly understood, especially in marine
systems. The southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) is the largest of the phocid seals …

Predators are thought to reduce travel speed and increase turning rate in areas where
resources are relatively more abundant, a behavior termed “area‐restricted search.” …
