Prey density and distribution drive the three-dimensional foraging strategies of the largest filter feeder

Creator:

Goldbogen, Jeremy A., Hazen, Elliott L., Friedlaender, Ari S., Calambokidis, John, DeRuiter, Stacy L., Stimpert, Alison K., and Southall, Brandon L.

Abstract:

1. Despite their importance in determining the rate of both energy gain and expenditure, how the fine-scale kinematics of foraging are modified in response to changes in prey abundance and distribution remain poorly understood in many animal ecosystems. 2. In the marine environment, bulk-filter feeders rely on dense aggregations of...

Feeding performance by sympatric blue and fin whales exploiting a common prey resource

Creator:

Friedlaender, Ari S., Goldbogen, Jeremy A., Hazen, Elliott L., Calambokidis, John, and Southall, Brandon L.

Abstract:

A major focus in macroecology is to understand the mechanisms that drive differences in habitat, morphology, and behavior in closely related species (Brown 1995). Within this paradigm, energy use and prey acquisition play a fundamental role in affecting behavior, especially with respect to foraging patterns and predator‐prey interactions. Because resources...
