During the last 30 years, at-sea studies of seabirds and marine mammals in the oceans
south of the Subtropical Front have described an association with major frontal areas. More …

Marine dredging is an excavation activity carried out worldwide by many industries. Concern
about the impact dredging has on marine life, including marine mammals (cetaceans …

In terrestrial systems, the green wave hypothesis posits that migrating animals can enhance
foraging opportunities by tracking phenological variation in high-quality forage across space …

Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus meet the highest prey demands of any predator that
has ever existed by feeding exclusively upon dense but patchy schools of pelagic …

For many marine organisms, especially large whales that cannot be studied in laboratory
settings, our ability to obtain basic behavioral and physiological data is limited, because …

Cetacean–habitat modeling, although still in the early stages of development, represents a
potentially powerful tool for predicting cetacean distributions and understanding the …

Marine predators attract significant attention in ocean conservation planning and are
therefore often used politically to promote reserve designation. We discuss whether their …

Lunge feeding by rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) is associated with a high energetic cost
that decreases diving capacity, thereby limiting access to dense prey patches at depth …

We assessed the behavioral context of calls produced by blue whales Balaenoptera
musculus off the California coast based on acoustic, behavioral, and dive data obtained …

The field of marine tagging and tracking has grown rapidly in recent years as tag sizes have
decreased and the diversity of sensors has increased. Tag data provide a unique view on …
