Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

Marine top predators represent an essential part of marine ecosystems. They are generally
regarded as “sentinels of the sea” since their presence reflects high biological productivity …

The impact of anthropogenic noise on marine fauna is of increasing conservation concern
with vessel noise being one of the major contributors. Animals that rely on shallow coastal …

Killer whales Orcinus orca have a cosmopolitan distribution with a broad diet ranging from
fish to marine mammals. In Norway, killer whales are regularly observed feeding on …

Pelagic predators must contend with low prey densities that are irregularly distributed and
dynamic in space and time. Based on satellite imagery and telemetry data, many pelagic …

Mediterranean fin whales comprise a genetically distinct population, listed as Vulnerable
(VU) in the IUCN Red List. Collisions with vessels are believed to represent the main cause …

Dive behavior represents multiple ecological functions for marine mammals, but our
understanding of dive characteristics is typically limited by the resolution or longevity of …

Diving behaviour of 'surfacers' such as sea snakes, cetaceans and turtles is complex and
multi-dimensional, thus may be better captured by multi-sensor biologging data. However …

Enhancement of information transfer has been proposed as a key driver of the evolution of
coloniality. Transfer of information on location of food resources implies that individuals from …

Biologging technologies are changing the way in which the marine environment is observed
and monitored. However, because device retrieval is typically required to access the high …
