• Habitat-specific movement and behavior patterns of a coastal mesopredator, the bat ray Myliobatis californica

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser

  Understanding the movement ecology of mesopredatory elasmobranchs is critical to assess their ecological roles across a range of marine habitats. The bat ray ( Myliobatis californica ) is a large,…

• Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT): an integrated system for archiving, analyzing and mapping animal tracking data

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 301:1-7 (2005)

  Despite the obvious power and advantages of the Argos system to track animals by satellite, the data generated are difficult for many biologists to exploit. A broad range of skills is required to…

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 313:295-304 (2006)

  Southern Hemisphere humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae migrate from wintering grounds in tropical latitudes to feeding areas in the Antarctic Ocean. It has been hypothesized that the population…

• Homing in green turtles Chelonia mydas: oceanic currents act as a constraint rather than as an information source

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 322:281-289 (2006)

  As open sea navigators, green turtles Chelonia mydas have to deal with oceanic currents. These currents may have a mechanical influence, forcing turtles away from their desired course, but they may…

• Site fidelity and seasonal movement patterns of adult California sheephead Semicossyphus pulcher (Labridae): an acoustic monitoring study

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 326:257-267 (2006)

  The California sheephead Semicossyphus pulcher Ayres (Labridae) is a temperate, rocky-reef/kelp-bed fish that is sought by recreational and commercial fishermen. Long-term acoustic monitoring was used…

• Foraging dynamics of macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus at South Georgia during brood-guard

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 323:239-251 (2006)

  We used satellite telemetry methods to study macaroni penguins at South Georgia to determine how they ranged from their colonies during the early part of their breeding season at a time when they are…

• Diel and tidal rhythms in diving behaviour of pelagic sharks identified by signal processing of archival tagging data

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 328:205-213 (2006)

  Patterns of vertical movement in pelagic predators can be highly complex, reflecting behaviours such as foraging, thermoregulatory excursions and spawning. Here we used fast Fourier analysis to…

• Resident and dispersal behavior among individuals within a population of American lobster Homarus americanus

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 331:207-218 (2007)

  Various biases and limitations associated with mark-recapture research have resulted in conflicting interpretations of individual movement patterns, rendering unclear the selective pressures that…

• Investigating sex-specific influences on migration and survival of Atlantic salmon smolts

  Aquat Biol

  Migrations allow fish to exploit resources that vary across time and space to increase lifetime fitness. For anadromous salmonids, migrating to sea enables rapid growth and is often more advantageous…
