Operational interactions between odontocetes (ie, toothed whales) and longline gear are a
global phenomenon that may threaten the conservation of odontocete populations and the …

Increasing evidence suggests that climate change is negatively affecting marine ecosystems
and biota. However, little is known of how climate change will impact marine mammals. This …

Colonial breeding is widespread among animals. Some, such as eusocial insects, may use
agonistic behavior to partition available foraging habitat into mutually exclusive territories; …

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

Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) are conspicuous, top-level predators
in coastal waters of south-eastern Australia that were over-harvested during the 1800s and …

To be successful, marine predators must alter their foraging behavior in response to
changes in their environment. To understand the impact and severity of environmental …

We examined the movement characteristics and seasonality of feeding behaviour for an
endemic Australian otariid, the Australian sea lion Neophoca cinerea. By combining tracking …

Inter-and intraspecific competition can lead to resource partitioning in sympatric species,
processes likely affected by environmental productivity and population size. We investigated …

Central place foragers often segregate in space, even without signs of direct agonistic
interactions. Using parsimonious individual-based simulations, we show that for species …

Over 1000 endangered Steller sea lions (SSL, Eumetopias jubatus Schreber, 1776) and
approximately 14000 northern fur seals (NFS, Callorhinus ursinus L., 1758) breed …
