ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish and other forage species are patchily distributed over space and time, resulting in variable foraging conditions experienced by their predators. The high‐resolution data necessary to understand the spatiotemporal structure of forage communities are challenging to collect with expensive fishery‐independent surveys, meaning ...

ABSTRACT As breath‐hold divers, marine mammals must coordinate their use of both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to maximize their time at depth. One indication of the relative reliance between these two energy‐producing systems is the aerobic dive limit (ADL), defined as the dive duration where post‐dive blood lactate concentrations surpass resting ...

ABSTRACT Territory quality is a key determinant of male reproductive success and an important driver of population dynamics in pinnipeds. In Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus; AUFS), males rely on pre‐breeding energy reserves to acquire and maintain territories, linking competitive ability to body size and condition.
