Marine renewable energy installations harnessing energy from wind, wave and tidal
resources are likely to become a large part of the future energy mix worldwide. The potential …

Global environmental change (including climate change, biodiversity loss, changes in
hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, and intensive exploitation of natural resources) is …

Background Identification of key foraging habitats of aquatic top predators is essential for
designing effective management and conservation strategies. The Baltic ringed seal (Phoca …

Management and conservation of populations of animals requires information on where they
are, why they are there, and where else they could be. These objectives are typically …

Sexual segregation in foraging is predicted from the great size disparity of male and female
northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris. Our aim was to test this prediction by …

During recent decades satellite telemetry using the Argos system has been used extensively
to track many species of marine mammals. However, the aquatic behavior of most of these …

Background ARGOS satellite telemetry is one of the most widely used methods to track the
movements of free-ranging marine and terrestrial animals and is fundamental to studies of …

In large marine predators, foraging entails movement. Quantitative models reveal how
behaviours can mediate individual movement, such that deviations from a random pattern …

In many large pelagic animals, observing behavior is limited to observation by radio or
satellite telemetry. In many cases, discriminating different behaviors from telemetry data has …

The movements of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus thynnus) have captured the
interest of scientists and fishers since the time of Aristotle. This tuna is unique among bony …
