Quantifying deep‐sea predator–prey dynamics: Implications of biological heterogeneity for beaked whale conservation

2019-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Prey distribution and density drive predator habitat usage and foraging behaviour. Understanding ecological relationships is necessary for effective management in any environment but can be challenging in certain contexts. While there has been substantial effort to quantify human disturbance for some protected, deep‐diving marine mammals, there are virtually no direct measurements of deep‐sea predator–prey dynamic...
