The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial
and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter …

The aquatic habitat of marine “air-breathing” vertebrates provides a significant
thermoregulatory challenge due to the high thermal conductivity of water. In addition to …

Understanding foraging is important in ecology, as it determines the energy gains and,
ultimately, the fitness of animals. However, monitoring prey captures of individual animals is …

A key component in understanding the ecological role of marine mammal predators is to
identify how and where they capture prey in time and space. Satellite and archival tags on …

Throughout the northern extent of its range, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
adult returns have been in decline for over a decade, leading to severe harvest restrictions …

Bioenergetics is the study of how animals achieve energetic balance. Energetic balance
results from the energetic expenditure of an individual and the energy they extract from their …

Summary 1 The at‐sea behaviour of marine predators is often described based on changes
in behavioural states, such as transit, searching, and feeding. However, to distinguish …

This study investigated prey captures in free-ranging adult female Australian fur seals
(Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) using head-mounted 3-axis accelerometers and animal …

Identification of foraging behaviour and the ability to assess foraging success is critical to
understanding individual and between‐species variation in habitat use and foraging …

Temperature and depth logging tags were implanted into adult eels released on Atlantic
west coasts of France and Ireland to study their oceanic migration behavior. For three of the …
