Machine learning in marine ecology: an overview of techniques and applications
Abstract Machine learning covers a large set of algorithms that can be trained to identify
patterns in data. Thanks to the increase in the amount of data and computing power …

First evidence of bubble‐net feeding and the formation of 'super‐groups' by the east Australian population of humpback whales during their southward migration
The recovery of overexploited populations is likely to reveal behaviours that may have been
present prior to harvest but are only now reappearing as the population size increases. The …

The rate of coastal temperature rise adjacent to a warming western boundary current is nonuniform with latitude
Western boundary currents (WBCs) have intensified and become more eddying in recent
decades due to the spin‐up of the ocean gyres, resulting in warmer open ocean …

Flexible use of a dynamic energy landscape buffers a marine predator against extreme climate variability
Animal migrations track predictable seasonal patterns of resource availability and suitable
thermal habitat. As climate change alters this 'energy landscape', some migratory species …

Variability in prey field structure drives inter-annual differences in prey encounter by a marine predator, the little penguin
Understanding how marine predators encounter prey across patchy landscapes remains
challenging due to difficulties in measuring the three-dimensional structure of pelagic prey …

Sustained reduction in numbers of Australian fur seal pups: Implications for future population monitoring
RR McIntosh, KJ Sorrell, S Thalmann, A Mitchell… - PloS One, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Fur seal populations in the Southern Hemisphere were plundered in the late 1700s and
early 1800s to provide fur for a clothing industry. Millions of seals were killed resulting in …

Coastal seascape variability in the intensifying East Australian Current southern extension
Coastal pelagic ecosystems are highly variable in space and time, with environmental
conditions and the distribution of biomass being driven by complex processes operating at …

Quantifying cross-shelf transport in the East Australian Current system: a budget-based approach
Cross-shelf transport plays an important role in the heat, salt, and nutrient budgets of the
continental shelf. In this study, we quantify cross-shelf volume transport and explore its …

From little things big things grow: enhancement of an acoustic telemetry network to monitor broad-scale movements of marine species along Australia's east coast
Background Acoustic telemetry has become a fundamental tool to monitor the movement of
aquatic species. Advances in technology, in particular the development of batteries with …

Flapping about: trends and drivers of Australian cownose ray (Rhinoptera neglecta) coastal sightings at their southernmost distribution range
The Australian cownose ray (Rhinoptera neglecta) is an understudied batoid that occurs
along Australia's north and east coasts. Currently classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN …
