| individual-based energetic model suggests bottom up mechanisms for the impact of coastal hypoxia on pacific harbor seal (phoca vitulina richardii) foraging behavior. | wind-driven coastal hypoxia represents an environmental stressor that has the potential to drive redistribution of gilled marine organisms, and thereby indirectly affect the foraging characteristics of air-breathing upper trophic-level predators. we used a conceptual individual-based model to simulate effects of coastal hypoxia on the spatial foraging behavior and efficiency of a marine mammal, the pacific harbor seal (phoca vitulina richardii) on the oregon coast. habitat compression of fish wa ... | 2017 | 28082128 |
