• Pelagic habitat of seabirds in the eastern tropical Pacific: effects of foraging ecology on habitat selection

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 315:279-292 (2006)

  A central tenet of ecology is the quantification of species-habitat relationships in order to explain spatial variability in the distribution and abundance patterns of animals. We quantified habitat…

• Habitat-based spatial and temporal variability in life history characteristics of female common dolphins Delphinus delphis in the eastern tropical Pacific

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 318:277-286 (2006)

  Spatial and temporal variability in mean age, breeding season and mean body length were examined for female short-beaked common dolphins Delphinus delphis in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP).…

• Diving behavior and delayed mortality of olive ridley sea turtles Lepidochelys olivacea after their release from longline fishing gear

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 323:253-261 (2006)

  We deployed pop-off satellite archival tags (PSATs) on 14 olive ridley turtles Lepidochelys olivacea and 1 green turtle Chelonia mydas in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean between November 2001 and…

• Mangrove fish assemblages reflect the environmental diversity of the Galapagos Islands

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 664:183-205 (2021)

  Mangroves are important habitats for a variety of ecologically, commercially and culturally important fishes. However, little is known about their role within the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP), and…

• Environmental forcing on zooplankton distribution in the coastal waters of the Galápagos Islands: spatial and seasonal patterns in the copepod community structure

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 661:49-69 (2021)

  The oceanographic setting of the Galápagos Archipelago results in a spatially diverse marine environment suitable for a variety of species with different climatic requirements. The goal of this study…
