Scaling laws of marine predator search behaviour
TLDR
Simulations show that predators have higher encounter rates when adopting Lévy-type foraging in natural-like prey fields compared with purely random landscapes, consistent with the hypothesis that observed search patterns are adapted to observed statistical patterns of the landscape. Expand
The Diving Behaviour of Adult Male and Female Southern Elephant Seals, Mirounga leonina (Pinnipedia : Phocidae)
TLDR
The diving behaviour of southern elephant seals is related to the possible prey they exploit in the Southern Ocean. Expand
Molecular scatology as a tool to study diet: analysis of prey DNA in scats from captive Steller sea lions
TLDR
A captive feeding trial to test whether prey DNA could be reliably detected in scat samples from Steller sea lions highlighted an approach that can accurately identify prey species and is not dependent on prey hard parts surviving digestion. Expand
Studying Seabird Diet through Genetic Analysis of Faeces: A Case Study on Macaroni Penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus)
TLDR
The ability of the DNA-based approach to detect temporal variation in the diet of macaroni penguins indicates this non-invasive method will be generally useful for monitoring population-level dietary trends in seabirds. Expand

  • 21 August 2007
TLDR
Improved body condition of seals in the Atlantic sector was associated with Circumpolar Deep Water upwelling regions within the Antarcticcircumpolar Current, whereas High-Salinity Shelf Waters or temperature/salinity gradients under winter pack ice were important in the Indian and Pacific sectors. Expand
Population status, trends and a re-examination of the hypotheses explaining the recent declines of the southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina
TLDR
An analysis of the relationship between log variance and log abundance for populations of southern and northern elephant seals suggests that interspecific competition is not a significant factor in the decline of the southern elephant seal. Expand
Antarctic Bottom Water production by intense sea-ice formation in the Cape Darnley polynya
Antarctic Bottom Water fills much of the global abyssal ocean, and is known to form in three main sites in the Southern Ocean. Data from instrumented elephant seals and moorings suggest an additional… Expand
Dive behaviour, foraging locations, and maternal- attendance patterns of Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus)
The dive behaviour, foraging locations, and colony-attendance patterns of female Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus ) from Kanowna Island (39°10 ′S, 146°18′E) in Bass Strait,… Expand
Resource partitioning through oceanic segregation of foraging juvenile southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina)
TLDR
It is suggested that modifications of haul-out timing and behavior enable them to exploit a patchy and unpredictable environment to avoid intra-specific competition for resources on land, space on beaches, and at-sea foraging areas. Expand
Loyalty pays: potential life history consequences of fidelity to marine foraging regions by southern elephant seals
Choices made by foraging animals should maximize energy intake, although ‘irrational’ short-term behaviours are common. One explanation for this is that environmental variation may lead to the… Expand
