Predators make foraging decisions based upon sensory information about resource
availability, but little is known about how large, air-breathing predators collect and use such …

Groups of female and immature sperm whales live at low latitudes and show a stereotypical
diving and foraging behavior with dives lasting about 45 min to depths of between 400 and …

Simultaneous high resolution sampling of predator behavior and habitat characteristics is
often difficult to achieve despite its importance in understanding the foraging decisions and …

Here we use sound and movement recording tags to study how deep-diving Blainville's
beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) use echolocation to forage in their natural …

Toothed whales echolocating in the wild generate clicks with low repetition rates to locate
prey but then produce rapid sequences of clicks, called buzzes, when attempting to capture …

Sperm whales use their gigantic nose to produce the most powerful sounds in the animal
kingdom, presumably to echolocate deep-sea prey at long ranges and possibly to debilitate …

It is hypothesized that sperm whales employ active pursuit strategies for hunting prey, mainly
deep-sea squid at great depths, but no visual evidence has been obtained to confirm this …

Despite their apex predator role, relatively little is known about the foraging strategies that
deep-diving marine mammals employ to target prey resources available at different depths …

Echolocating toothed whales produce powerful clicks pneumatically to detect prey in the
deep sea where this long-range sensory channel makes them formidable top predators …

Closely related species are expected to diverge in foraging strategy, reflecting the
evolutionary drive to optimize foraging performance. The most speciose cetacean genus …
