Many large terrestrial mammalian predators use energy-intensive, high-risk, high-gain
strategies to pursue large, high-quality prey. However, similar-sized marine mammal …

The Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) has experienced a slower than
expected population recovery since the end of the commercial sealing era, with a high third …

The open ocean offers a suite of ecological conditions promoting the occurrence of multi-
species predator aggregations. These mixed predator aggregations typically hunt large …

A key aspect of foraging ecology research is understanding how predator foraging behavior
and success are influenced by variation in prey resources. For northern fur seals …

Introduction Knowledge of the hunting strategies of top predators can provide insights into
the cost-benefit trade-offs of their foraging activities. Air-breathing marine predators are …

Understanding the ability of animals to cope with a changing environment is critical in a
world affected by anthropogenic disturbance. 1 Individual foraging strategies may influence …

Tropical ecosystems are challenging for pinnipeds due to fluctuating food availability.
According to previous research, the Galapagos sea lion (GSL, Zalophus wollebaeki) adopts …

Determining how animals allocate energy, and how external factors influence this allocation,
is crucial to understand species' life history requirements and response to disturbance. This …

Abstract Knowledge of the factors shaping the foraging behaviour of species is central to
understanding their ecosystem role and predicting their response to environmental …

Predator–prey interaction has long been an interesting item in the research of animal
behaviors. Given that live prey can damage their predators, predators must trade foraging …
