A sense of scale : Foraging cetaceans’ use of scale-dependent multimodal sensory systems

Creator:

Torres, Leigh G.

Abstract:

Research on cetacean foraging ecology is central to our understanding of their spatial and behavioral ecology. Yet, functional mechanisms by which cetaceans detect prey across different scales remain unclear. Here, I postulate that cetaceans utilize a scale-dependent, multimodal sensory system to assess and increase prey encounters. I review the literature...
