| fortuitous encounters between seagliders and adult female northern fur seals (callorhinus ursinus) off the washington (usa) coast: upper ocean variability and links to top predator behavior. | behavioral responses by top marine predators to oceanographic features such as eddies, river plumes, storms, and coastal topography suggest that biophysical interactions in these zones affect predators' prey, foraging behaviors, and potentially fitness. however, examining these pathways is challenged by the obstacles inherent in obtaining simultaneous observations of surface and subsurface environmental fields and predator behavior. in this study, migratory movements and, in some cases, diving b ... | 2014 | 25153524 |
