Many marine animals use sound passively or actively for communication, foraging, predator avoidance, navigation, and to sense their environment. The advent of acoustic recording …
Long‐distance migration has evolved in many organisms moving through different media and using various modes of locomotion and transport. Migration continues to evolve or …
Squid, cuttlefish and octopuses, which form the marine mollusc group the cephalopods, are of great and increasing interest to marine biologists, physiologists, ecologists, environmental …
