A shortfin mako shark circling a finless porpoise with damaged caudal fin

Ecology and Evolution
Research on predator–prey interactions between sharks and cetaceans remain limited. Here, we report on a video of a shortfin mako shark circling a finless porpoise with a damaged caudal fin in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan.

A matter of scale: Identifying the best spatial and temporal scale of environmental variables to model the distribution of a small cetacean

Ecology and Evolution
The importance of scale when investigating ecological patterns and processes is recognised across many species. In marine ecosystems, the processes that drive species distribution have a hierarchical structure over multiple nested spatial and temporal ...
