Canyon effects structure fin whale feeding aggregations at Southern Ocean feeding grounds
Abstract Large fin whale feeding aggregations at Southern Ocean feeding grounds are one of the most striking predator–prey phenomena in the post‐whaling era, representing a visible sign of recovering large whale populations. Yet, the mechanisms shaping their occurrence have not yet been studied. We investigate spatial patterns of fin whale distribution

From barrier to gateway: Climate‐facilitated expansion of thaliaceans in the Arctic Ocean
Abstract Thaliaceans (doliolids, pyrosomes, salps) play fundamental roles in global carbon cycling and pelagic food webs through high filtration rates and rapid reproduction. Despite their prevalence, they are virtually absent from the Arctic Ocean. This paper explores the ecological, physiological, and historical factors that may have contributed to ...
