How shearwaters prey. New insights in foraging behaviour and marine foraging associations using bird-borne video cameras

Lucie Michel et al.

Summary: This study uses animal-borne video cameras to record the foraging behaviors of Scopoli's shearwaters in the Mediterranean Sea. The video footage reveals fine-scale behaviors, associations with conspecifics and other species, and interactions with fishery vessels. The analysis of the video recordings suggests behavioral differences between natural prey and fishery discards, adding new insights into the energy trade-offs and foraging strategies of seabirds. The study emphasizes the importance of combining tracking technologies to obtain a comprehensive understanding of seabirds' at-sea behaviors and their interactions with fisheries.

Diving behavior, foraging strategies, and energetics of female Steller sea lions during early lactation

Paul A. Olivier et al.

Summary: The study found that lactating female Steller sea lions make short foraging trips near the rookery, primarily capturing Atka mackerel with shallow or deep benthic foraging strategies. It also showed that any reduction in prey size or abundance could have serious consequences on pup growth and survival.

Fine-scale foraging effort and efficiency of Macaroni penguins is influenced by prey type, patch density and temporal dynamics

G. J. Sutton et al.

Summary: The study found that Macaroni penguins mainly dived during the day and utilized two strategies to target different prey types. Despite breeding in large colonies, individuals seemed to be solitary foragers and did not engage in coordinated behavior with conspecifics as seen in other group foraging penguin species.

The cost of a meal: factors influencing prey profitability in Australian fur seals

Nelle Meyers et al.

Summary: In this study, the foraging behavior of female Australian fur seals was investigated using animal-borne video data loggers. The study found substantial differences in pursuit and handling times, energy gain, and expenditure between different prey types, but overall profitability did not significantly differ between prey types, except for elasmobranchs. The study highlights the benefits of using animal-borne video data loggers for understanding the factors influencing foraging decisions in predators.

Serendipitous observations from animal-borne video loggers reveal synchronous diving and equivalent simultaneous prey capture rates in chinstrap penguins

Jefferson T. Hinke et al.

Summary: Chinstrap penguins demonstrate synchronous diving and foraging behavior while hunting for Antarctic krill, showing positive correlation in capture rates and equivalent total consumption estimates for instrumented birds during the same video observation period.

Animal tag technology keeps coming of age: an engineering perspective

Mark D. Holton et al.

Summary: Animal-borne tags have become highly sophisticated tools for studying wild animals, but their design and implementation require engineers to balance performance and function under tough conditions while minimizing impact on animal wellbeing. Understanding engineering issues in tag design is important for both biologists and engineers to improve tag construction and research outcomes. Embracing conventional technology and new approaches will further advance our understanding of wild-animal biology using smart tags.

Synthesis of interannual variability in spatial demographic processes supports the strong influence of cold-pool extent on eastern Bering Sea walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus)

Arnaud Gruss et al.

Summary: By applying EOF analysis to examine fish demographic processes in the eastern Bering Sea, the study found a strong correlation between prey-biomass-per-predator-mass and the spatial extent of bottom temperatures (CPE), indicating a bottom-up environmental influence on demographic processes. Anomalous years, such as 1999 and 2010 with a large CPE and high indices for demographic variables, as well as 2016-2019 with a small CPE and low indices, were identified. These findings suggest the potential for using CPE projections to forecast changes in demographic process variables in the future.
