Climate change directly impacts the foraging opportunities of cetaceans (eg lower prey
availability), leads to habitat loss, and forces cetaceans to move to other feeding grounds …

Baleen whales store energy gained on foraging grounds to support reproduction and other
metabolic needs while fasting for long periods during migration. Whale body condition can …

Here we provide a first assessment of microplastics (MPs) in stomach contents of 15
common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) from both single and mass stranding events along the …

Profiles of 33 PFAS analytes and 12 essential and non-essential trace elements were
measured in livers of stranded common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) from New Zealand …

Establishing diets and dietary generalism in marine top predators is critical for
understanding their ecological roles and responses to environmental fluctuations. Nutrition …

Maintaining thermal homeostasis in water is a major challenge for semi‐aquatic mammals,
which entails morphological, behavioural and physiological adaptations. Foraging strategies …

In the last decade many studies have described the ingestion of plastic in marine animals.
While most studies were dedicated to understanding the pre-ingestion processes involving …

Many terrestrial group-hunters cooperate to kill prey but then compete for their share with
dominance being a strong predictor of prey division. In contrast, little is known about prey …

Animals are integrated into the wider ecosystem via their foraging and behavior. The
compensation hypothesis predicts that animals target their foraging efforts (i) toward …

Body size and feeding morphology influence how animals partition themselves within
communities. We tested the relationships among sex, body size, skull morphology and …
