Decompression sickness (DCS;'the bends') is a disease associated with gas uptake at
pressure. The basic pathology and cause are relatively well known to human divers. Breath …

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

Three fundamental foraging patterns in air-breathing marine vertebrates have been
described: epipelagic, mesopelagic and benthic. Many sea lion species with access to …

Foraging strategies are of great ecological interest, as they have a strong impact on the
fitness of an individual and can affect its ability to cope with a changing environment. Recent …

Body size is an important determinant of the diving and foraging ability in air‐breathing
marine vertebrate predators. Satellite‐linked dive recorders were used during 2003–2004 to …

SUMMARY A defining physiological capability for air-breathing marine vertebrates is the
amount of oxygen that can be stored in tissues and made available during dives. To …

Intraspecific variation in resource use by individuals of different age, sex or size may reflect
differing energetic requirements and physiological constraints. Males and females often …

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

Summary 1 Foraging behaviours of the Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) reflect an
animal working hard to exploit benthic habitats. Lactating females demonstrate almost …

Resource competition between fisheries and marine mammal continue to raise concern
worldwide. Understanding this complex conflict requires data on spatial and dietary overlap …
