The study of ecological and behavioral processes has been revolutionized in the last two
decades with the rapid development of biologging-science. Recently, using image-capturing …

Nutritional geometry has shown the benefits of viewing nutrition in a multidimensional
context, in which foraging is viewed as a process of balancing the intake and use of multiple …

Abstract Furness, RW, Wade, HM, Robbins, AMC, and Masden, EA 2012. Assessing the
sensitivity of seabird populations to adverse effects from tidal stream turbines and wave …

In nature, several seabirds (eg, gannets and boobies) dive into water at up to 24 m/s as a
hunting mechanism; furthermore, gannets and boobies have a slender neck, which is …

Understanding the sensory ecology of species is vital if we are to predict how they will
function in a changing environment. Visual cues are fundamentally important for many …

Dolphins are among the largest and most diverse predators in marine ecosystems, but our
understanding of their foraging ecology, which is crucial for ecosystem management, is …

Our understanding of the niche concept will remain limited while the quantity and range of
different food types eaten remain a dominant proxy for niche breadth, as this does not …

Animals alter their habitat use in response to the energetic demands of movement ('energy
landscapes') and the risk of predation ('the landscape of fear'). Recent research suggests …

Australasian gannets (Morus serrator), like many other seabird species, locate pelagic prey
from the air and perform rapid plunge dives for their capture. Prey are captured underwater …

Plunge diving is the most commonly used feeding method of a gannet, which can make the
gannet transit from air to water rapidly and successfully. A large impact acceleration can be …
