Personality predicts foraging site fidelity and trip repeatability in a marine predator
Animal populations are often comprised of both foraging specialists and generalists. For
instance, some individuals show higher foraging site fidelity (spatial specialization) than …

Humpback whale migrations to Antarctic summer foraging grounds through the southwest Pacific Ocean
Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) populations typically undertake seasonal
migrations, spending winters in low latitude breeding grounds and summers foraging in high …

Climate mediates the success of migration strategies in a marine predator
Individual behavioural specialisation has far‐reaching effects on fitness and population
persistence. Theory predicts that unconditional site fidelity, that is fidelity to a site …

Beyond big fish: the case for more detailed representations of top predators in marine ecosystem models
Seabirds and marine mammals are generally not well represented in marine ecosystem
models, despite the important roles that these groups play in determining ecosystem …

Submesoscale ocean fronts act as biological hotspot for southern elephant seal
The area west of the Kerguelen Islands (20–70° E/45–60° S) is characterized by a weak
mesoscale activity except for a standing meander region of the Antarctic Circumpolar …

Fast acquisition of a polysaccharide fermenting gut microbiome by juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydas after settlement in coastal habitats
Background Tetrapods do not express hydrolases for cellulose and hemicellulose
assimilation, and hence, the independent acquisition of herbivory required the …

Individual foraging site fidelity increases from incubation to nestling rearing in a colonial bird
Foraging specialization, whereby animals exploit only a minor fraction of the population's
foraging home range or trophic niche, may arise as a response to increasing levels of …

Using globally threatened pelagic birds to identify priority sites for marine conservation in the South Atlantic Ocean
Abstract The Convention on Biological Diversity aspires to designate 10% of the global
oceans as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), but so far, few MPAs protect pelagic species in …

Flexible use of a dynamic energy landscape buffers a marine predator against extreme climate variability
Animal migrations track predictable seasonal patterns of resource availability and suitable
thermal habitat. As climate change alters this 'energy landscape', some migratory species …

Decadal changes in habitat characteristics influence population trajectories of southern elephant seals
Understanding divergent biological responses to climate change is important for predicting
ecosystem level consequences. We use species habitat models to predict the winter …
