Animal telemetry is a powerful tool for observing marine animals and the physical
environments that they inhabit, from coastal and continental shelf ecosystems to polar seas …

We review the general problem of random searches in the context of biological encounters.
We analyze deterministic and stochastic aspects of searching in general and address the …

Modern microscopic techniques following the stochastic motion of labelled tracer particles
have uncovered significant deviations from the laws of Brownian motion in a variety of …

Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

An optimal search theory, the so-called Lévy-flight foraging hypothesis, predicts that
predators should adopt search strategies known as Lévy flights where prey is sparse and …

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 …

Long-distance migrations are among the wonders of the natural world, but this multi-taxon
review shows that the characteristics of species that undertake such movements appear to …

New technologies have vastly increased the available data on animal movement and
behaviour. Consequently, new methods deciphering the spatial and temporal interactions …

Otolith microchemistry can provide valuable information about stock structure and mixing
patterns when the magnitude of environmental differences among areas is greater than the …

Sexual segregation occurs when members of a species separate such that the sexes live
apart, either singly or in single‐sex groups. It can be broadly categorised into two types …
