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 ...
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 ...
Diving behavior of sperm whales in relation to behavior of a major prey species, the jumbo squid, in the Gulf of California, Mexico
(Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2007)
Sperm whales occur worldwide and feed largely on meso- and bathypelagic squid, but little is known about the behavioral ecology of this predator and its prey. In the Gulf of California, sperm whales are thought to feed on ...
Dive depth and plumage air in wettable birds: the extraordinary case of the imperial cormorant
(Inter-Research, 2007-12)
Cormorants are considered to be remarkably efficient divers and hunters. In part, this is due to their wettable plumage with little associated air, which allows them to dive with fewer energetic costs associated with ...
Diving for food: A switch of foraging strategy of dusky dolphins in Argentina
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-09)
During winter, dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) were observed in coordinated diving apparently in a feeding activity, contrasting with the surface feeding observed during summer. The aim of this work consisted in ...
Nature-based tourism and behavior for household waste reduction: Divers and non-divers
(El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, 2015)
Regional variability in diving physiology and behavior in a widely distributed air-breathing marine predator, the South American sea lion (Otaria byronia)
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2016)
Our understanding of how air-breathing marine predators cope with environmental variability is limited by our inadequate knowledge of their ecological and physiological parameters. Because of their wide distribution along ...
Dive performance in a small-bodied, semi-aquatic mammal in the wild
(Alliance Communications Group Division Allen Press, 2012-02)
Aquatic foraging is a fundamental component of the behavior of a number of small mammals, yet comprehensive observations of diving are often difficult to obtain under natural circumstances. Semiaquatic mammals, having ...
