Forage fish play a pivotal role in marine ecosystems and economies worldwide by
sustaining many predators and fisheries directly and indirectly. We estimate global forage …

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

Marine renewable developments have raised concerns over impacts of underwater noise on
marine species, particularly from pile-driving for wind turbines. Environmental assessments …

The harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) is the world's most widely distributed pinniped species
ranging from temperate to Arctic regions (30–78.5° N in the Atlantic, 28–61.2° N in the …

In large marine predators, foraging entails movement. Quantitative models reveal how
behaviours can mediate individual movement, such that deviations from a random pattern …

We present the findings of a 2-yr study of habitat use by bottlenose dolphins in the outer
Shannon estuary on the west coast of Ireland. Data were collected during repeated …

Grey seals Halichoerus grypus Fab. are large, numerous marine top predators. Fears
concerning competition with fisheries have prompted calls for control measures. However …

We use information on the at-sea distribution of radio-tagged seals to identify the summer
foraging areas used by 31 harbour seals from two different haul-out sites in the Moray Firth …

One common approach to marine conservation is the designation of marine protected areas
(MPAs). Marine mammals have been proposed as a target species for such areas due to …

The harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) is a widespread marine predator in Northern Hemisphere
waters. British populations have been subject to rapid declines in recent years. Food supply …
