On the Front Line: frontal zones as priority at‐sea conservation areas for mobile marine vertebrates
Identifying priority areas for marine vertebrate conservation is complex because species of
conservation concern are highly mobile, inhabit dynamic habitats and are difficult to monitor …

Oceanographic drivers of marine mammal and seabird habitat-use across shelf-seas: a guide to key features and recommendations for future research and …
Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

Space partitioning without territoriality in gannets
Colonial breeding is widespread among animals. Some, such as eusocial insects, may use
agonistic behavior to partition available foraging habitat into mutually exclusive territories; …

Prey patch patterns predict habitat use by top marine predators with diverse foraging strategies
Spatial coherence between predators and prey has rarely been observed in pelagic marine
ecosystems. We used measures of the environment, prey abundance, prey quality, and prey …

Mesoscale fronts as foraging habitats: composite front mapping reveals oceanographic drivers of habitat use for a pelagic seabird
The oceanographic drivers of marine vertebrate habitat use are poorly understood yet
fundamental to our knowledge of marine ecosystem functioning. Here, we use composite …

Breeding density, fine‐scale tracking, and large‐scale modeling reveal the regional distribution of four seabird species
Population‐level estimates of species' distributions can reveal fundamental ecological
processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile …

Pattern Formation and analysis of reaction–diffusion ratio-dependent prey–predator model with harvesting in predator
A significant degree of complexity to the conventional ecological dynamic is added by
studying prey–predator models with harvesting predators. The primary focus of classical …
