Making habitat selection more “familiar”: a review
WH Piper - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2011 - Springer
Behavioral ecologists generally agree that animals derive benefits from familiarity with
spaces that they inhabit or visit, yet site familiarity is rudimentary or lacking in most models of …

Scaling laws of marine predator search behaviour
Many free-ranging predators have to make foraging decisions with little, if any, knowledge of
present resource distribution and availability. The optimal search strategy they should use to …

Individual responses of seabirds to commercial fisheries revealed using GPS tracking, stable isotopes and vessel monitoring systems
The large amount of discards produced by commercial fisheries can have major impacts on
marine predator populations: this abundant food may increase populations of some …

Universal proximity effect in target search kinetics in the few-encounter limit
When does a diffusing particle reach its target for the first time? This first-passage time (FPT)
problem is central to the kinetics of molecular reactions in chemistry and molecular biology …

Long‐term individual foraging site fidelity—why some gannets don't change their spots
Many established models of animal foraging assume that individuals are ecologically
equivalent. However, it is increasingly recognized that populations may comprise individuals …

[HTML][HTML] Foraging behavior and success of a mesopelagic predator in the northeast Pacific Ocean: insights from a data-rich species, the northern elephant seal
The mesopelagic zone of the northeast Pacific Ocean is an important foraging habitat for
many predators, yet few studies have addressed the factors driving basin-scale predator …

Using short-term measures of behaviour to estimate long-term fitness of southern elephant seals
Environmental changes (a type of disturbance) are altering the habitat of southern elephant

Lévy flights do not always optimize random blind search for sparse targets
VV Palyulin, AV Chechkin… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
It is generally believed that random search processes based on scale-free, Lévy stable jump
length distributions (Lévy flights) optimize the search for sparse targets. Here we show that …

Variations in behavior and condition of a Southern Ocean top predator in relation to in situ oceanographic conditions
Responses by marine top predators to environmental variability have previously been
almost impossible to observe directly. By using animal-mounted instruments simultaneously …
