For decades, the bio-duck sound has been recorded in the Southern Ocean,
but the animal producing it has remained a mystery. Heard mainly during
austral winter in the Southern Ocean, this ubiquitous sound has been
recorded in Antarctic waters and contemporaneously off the Australian
west coast. Here, we present conclusive...

Air-breathing marine animals face a complex set of physical challenges associated with diving that affect the decisions of how to optimize feeding. Baleen whales (Mysticeti) have evolved bulk-filter feeding mechanisms to efficiently feed on dense prey patches. Baleen whales are central place foragers where oxygen at the surface represents the...
Travel demand has increased due to population growth, increase of vehicle ownership, and development patterns resulting in greater levels of congestion, pollution, and crash frequency. One approach to demand management is to increase the share of trips made by bicycles. With the increase in bicycling rates, there is a critical...
In response to increasing recreation use, many resource
managers have set use limits or carrying capacities
in an attempt to protect the quality of experiences.
These limits require definitions of quality which involve
evaluative information about appropriate use levels or
use conditions. Two papers are presented examining different
approaches for...
