Identifying priority areas for marine vertebrate conservation is complex because species of
conservation concern are highly mobile, inhabit dynamic habitats and are difficult to monitor …

The Ideal Free Distribution theory predicts a close spatial match between predators and
prey. Studies have shown that seabird and prey distribution seldom conforms with this …

Книга является обобщением представлений и результатов многолетних исследований
по группам гидробионтов, слагающих низшие трофические уровни в экосистемах …

We propose a new hypothesis, the Oscillating Control Hypothesis (OCH), which predicts that
pelagic ecosystem function in the southeastern Bering Sea will alternate between primarily …

Spatial coherence between predators and prey has rarely been observed in pelagic marine
ecosystems. We used measures of the environment, prey abundance, prey quality, and prey …

Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

We review the foraging ecology of seabirds at scales of 100s of m to 10s of km. We examine
processes responsible for the distribution and availability of seabird prey, and how …

We describe an integrative approach to studying the fine-scale distribution of harbour
porpoises Phocoena phocoena in the Bay of Fundy, using satellite telemetry, line transect …

We tested the hypothesis that the spatial distributions of foraging least, crested and parakeet
auklets (Aethia pusilla, A. cristatella and A. psittacula, respectively) in the shallow passes of …

Spatial management of marine ecosystems requires detailed knowledge of spatio‐temporal
mechanisms linking physical and biological processes. Tidal currents, the main driver of …
