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 …

Increasing evidence suggests that climate change is negatively affecting marine ecosystems
and biota. However, little is known of how climate change will impact marine mammals. This …

The number of scientific papers resulting from biologging instruments deployed on marine
mammals is increasing as improved technologies result in smaller devices and improved …

The relationships between fine-scale oceanographic features, prey aggregations, and the
foraging behavior of top predators are poorly understood. We investigated whether foraging …

Central place foragers are expected to offset travel costs between a central place and
foraging areas by targeting productive feeding zones. Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) make …

We examined the movement characteristics and seasonality of feeding behaviour for an
endemic Australian otariid, the Australian sea lion Neophoca cinerea. By combining tracking …

The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major concern for wildlife and
ecosystem health globally. Genetic determinants of AMR have become indicators of …

The southern coastline of Australia forms part of the worlds' only northern boundary current
system. The Bonney Upwelling occurs every austral summer along the south-eastern South …

Foraging site fidelity has profound consequences for individual fitness, population
processes and the effectiveness of species conservation measures. Accordingly, quantifying …

Australian sea lions (Neophoca cinerea) have typically small breeding colonies, many of
which are genetically distinct populations due to female philopatry (ie breeding site fidelity) …
