Diving patterns in the Antarctic Shag
(Waterbird Society, 2004-12)
The diving patterns of the Antarctic Shag ( Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis ) were studied by direct observation on individuals foraging at Harmony Cove, Nelson Island, South Shetland Islands, during the 1995/96 and 1996/97 ...
Surface pauses in relation to dive duration in imperial cormorants; how much time for a breather?
(Company of Biologists, 2004)
Air-breathing animals diving to forage can optimize time underwater by diving with just enough oxygen for the projected performance underwater. By so doing they surface with minimal body oxygen levels, which leads to maximal ...

Pitching a new angle on elephant seal dive patterns
(Springer, 2011-08)
Elephant seals are one of the most proficient diving mammals in the world and are also one of the most studied. However, their long periods at sea and pelagic habits make research into their foraging ecology particularly ...
Flexible foraging for finding fish: variable diving patterns in Magellanic penguins Spheniscus magellanicus from different colonies
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-04-16)
Seabirds have to deal with environmental variability and are predicted to modulate foraging behavior to maximize fitness, with particularly strong selection pressure for optimal behavior during chick provisioning when ...
The dive and disruption of successful current products: measures, global patterns, and predictive model.
This study examines the diffusion of pairs of substitute products (current versus new) in five categories across 86 countries between 1977 and 2011. The study finds that current products reach a peak at about 56% of market ...
Effect of recreational diving on Patagonian rocky reefs
(Elsevier, 2014-12-23)
Tourism has grown considerably in the last decades, promoting activities such as recreational SCUBA diving that may affect marine benthic communities. In Puerto Madryn, Patagonia Argentina, sub-aquatic tourism areas (STA) ...
Diving classification and behavior of free-ranging female southern elephant seals based on threedimensional movements and video-recorded observations
(Inter-Research, 2019-06-18)
The goal of this study was to classify dives of free-ranging female southern elephant seals Mirounga leonina from Península Valdés, Argentina, during their 2 mo post-breeding migration. Classifications were based on ...
Persistence in diving American mink
(Springer, 2015-08)
Background: American mink forage on land and in water, with aquatic prey often constituting a large proportion of their diet. Their long, thin body shape and relatively poor insulation make them vulnerable to heat loss, ...
