Telemetry and random‐walk models reveal complex patterns of partial migration in a large marine predator
Animals are often faced with complex movement decisions, particularly those that involve
long‐distance dispersal. Partial migrations, ubiquitous among all groups of vertebrates, are …

Not worth the risk: apex predators suppress herbivory on coral reefs
Apex predators are known to exert strong ecological effects, either through direct or indirect
predator–prey interactions. Indirect interactions have the potential to influence ecological …
