Aquatic Biology

Aquatic Biology is a gold Open Access journal and a multidisciplinary forum for research on the biology of organisms in marine, brackish and fresh waters. SEDAO (Sexuality and Early Development in Aquatic Organisms), an international journal that covered all aspects of reproduction and early development in marine, brackish and freshwater organisms, was incorporated into AB in late 2015.

Working beneath the surface: interplay of biomechanics, physiology and behavioural ecology in diving seabirds (Mar 17, 2010)

Idea: Rory P. Wilson

Editors: Rory P. Wilson, Yutaka Watanuki, Nobuyuki Miyazaki, Brent S. Stewart

AB Theme Section 5 is based on presentations from the latest conference of the Pacific Seabird Group, which was held in February 2009 in Hakodate, Japan. The conference included a symposium on the use of devices attached to birds, for the purpose of studying underwater foraging behavior. The contributions to AB Theme Section 5 focus on the energetics of diving and foraging, and on the methods for assessing the physiology of birds under water.
