Serendipitous observations from animal-borne video loggers reveal synchronous diving and equivalent simultaneous prey capture rates in chinstrap penguins
JT Hinke, TM Russell, VR Hermanson, L Brazier… - Marine Biology, 2021 - Springer
Seabirds often engage in coordinated, cooperative foraging to improve detection and
capture of prey. An extreme example of such coordinated behavior is synchronicity, whereby …
