Linking marine predator diving behavior to local prey fields in contrasting habitats in a subarctic glacial fjord

Creator:

Womble, Jamie N., Blundell, Gail M., Gende, Scott M., Horning, Markus, Sigler, Michael F., and Csepp, David J.

Abstract:

Foraging theory predicts that animals will adjust their foraging behavior in order to maximize net energy intake and that trade-offs may exist that can influence their behavior. Although substantial advances have been made with respect to the foraging ecology of large marine predators, there is still a limited understanding of...

Post-Breeding Season Migrations of a Top Predator, the Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina richardii), from a Marine Protected Area in Alaska

Creator:

Womble, Jamie N. and Gende, Scott M.

Abstract:

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly being used as a conservation tool for highly mobile marine vertebrates and the focus is typically on protecting breeding areas where individuals are aggregated seasonally. Yet movements during the non-breeding season can overlap with threats that may be equally as important to population dynamics....
