The Ideal Free Distribution theory predicts a close spatial match between predators and
prey. Studies have shown that seabird and prey distribution seldom conforms with this …

Tumors are evolving ecosystems where cancer subclones and the microenvironment
interact. This is analogous to interaction dynamics between species in their natural habitats …

Meso-and submesoscales (fronts, eddies, filaments) in surface ocean flow have a crucial
influence on marine ecosystems. Their dynamics partly control the foraging behavior and the …

Breeding seabirds are extreme central-place foragers, commuting long distances between
colonies and feeding areas. Central-place foraging theory predicts that prey items close to …

Establishing where and when predators forage is essential to understanding trophic
interactions, yet foraging behavior remains poorly understood in large marine carnivores …

Mesoscale physical features as fronts and eddies appear to play a key role in the dynamics
of marine communities. In the Indian Ocean, the Mozambique Channel (MC) is a natural …

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

Top predators need to develop optimal strategies of resources and habitats utilization in
order to optimize their foraging success. At the individual scale, a predator has to maximize …

Oligotrophic regions are expected to host low densities of top predators. Nevertheless, top
predators with contrasting energetic costs might respond differently to the productivity of their …

Natal dispersal—the movement from birth site to first breeding site—determines
demographic and population genetic dynamics and has important consequences for …
