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 …

With the rapid development of unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles, various tasks,
such as biodiversity monitoring, surveying, and mapping, as well as, search and rescue can …

Sexual segregation, common in many species, is usually attributed to intra-specific
competition or habitat choice. However, few studies have simultaneously quantified sex …

In nature, several seabirds (eg, gannets and boobies) dive into water at up to 24 m/s as a
hunting mechanism; furthermore, gannets and boobies have a slender neck, which is …

Seabirds foraging on pelagic fish develop behavioral strategies specifically adapted to
locate inconspicuous prey that are aggregated in spatially dynamic patches. In the marine …

Prey aggregations, such as fish schools, attract numerous predators. This typically leads to
the formation of multispecific groups of predators. These aggregations can be seen both as …

Seabirds forage in a highly dynamic environment and prey on fish schools that are patchily
distributed. Colonially breeding seabirds regularly commute back and forth from their colony …

Detailed information acquired using tracking technology has the potential to provide
accurate pictures of the types of movements and behaviors performed by animals. To date …

The trade off between energy gained and expended is the foundation of understanding how,
why and when animals perform any activity. Based on the concept that animal movements …

Fisheries are often accused of starving vulnerable seabirds, yet evidence for this claim is
scarce. Foraging energetics may provide efficient, short-term indicators of the fitness status …
