Diving animals offer a unique opportunity to study the importance of physiological constraint
in their everyday behaviors. An important component of the physiological capability of any …

Increasing evidence suggests that climate change is negatively affecting marine ecosystems
and biota. However, little is known of how climate change will impact marine mammals. This …

The lack of comprehensive sighting data sets precludes the application of standard habitat
suitability modeling approaches to predict distributions of the majority of marine mammal …

Organisms in a seasonal environment often schedule activities in a regular way over the
year. If we assume that such annual routines have been shaped by natural selection then …

In recent years, Australian governments and fishing industry associations have developed
guiding principles aimed at reducing the impact of fishing on non-target species and the …

This research examines the foraging energetics and diving behavior of the Australian sea
lion, Neophoca cinerea. We examine whether the foraging ecology of the Australian sea lion …

Several species use the number of young produced as public information (PI) to assess
breeding site quality. PI is inaccessible for synchronously breeding birds because nests are …

The Anxious Bay beach litter clearance is the longest running annual survey of ocean-based
litter in Australia. It's remoteness from centres of human population and location (with …

Diving animals offer a unique opportunity to study the importance of physiological constraint
and the limitation it can impose on animal's behaviour in nature. This paper examines the …

This paper describes both the modern and the pristine distribution, breeding range, and
relative abundance of the New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri). Archaeological data …
