This review concentrates on the physiological responses, and their control, in freely diving
birds and mammals that enable them to remain submerged and sometimes quite active for …

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

Sound-and-orientation recording tags (DTAGs) were used to study 10 beaked whales of two
poorly known species, Ziphius cavirostris (Zc) and Mesoplodon densirostris (Md). Acoustic …

Arctic sea ice loss has direct consequences for predators. Climate‐driven distribution shifts
of native and invasive prey species may exacerbate these consequences. We assessed …

La profondeur et la durée maximales des plongées ont été étudiées en relation avec la
masse du corps chez des oiseaux, des mammifères marins et des tortues marines. Il existe …

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 …

Birds and mammals are important components of pelagic marine ecosystems, but our
knowledge of their foraging ecology is limited. We distinguish six distinct types of data that …

1. Foraging behaviour of Antarctic fur seals rearing pups at Bird Island, South Georgia, was
assessed using at-sea activity patterns measured by electronic time-depth recorders …

Many diving seabirds and marine mammals have been found to regularly exceed their
theoretical aerobic dive limit (TADL). No animals have been found to dive for durations that …

Predators face decisions about which prey to include in their diet in order to maximize
fitness. The foraging tactics used to capture prey and the resulting profitability of prey …
