Abstract: Abstract The development of high‐resolution archival tag technologies has revolutionized our understanding of diving behavior in marine taxa such as sharks, turtles, and seals during their wide‐ranging movements. However, similar applications for large whales have… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Semi‐aquatic mammals have secondarily returned to the aquatic environment, although they spend a major part of their life operating in air. Moving both on land, as well as in, and under water is challenging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2118145119
Abstract: Significance Many cetacean species can dive to extraordinary depths on a single breath, but the evolutionary origins of deep-sea foraging in ancestral cetaceans remain unclear. We present a resurrected ancestral cetacean visual protein (rhodopsin) to… read more here.

Diving Behavior and Fine-Scale Kinematics of Free-Ranging Risso's Dolphins Foraging in Shallow and Deep-Water Habitats

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00053
Abstract: Air-breathing marine predators must balance the conflicting demands of oxygen conservation during breath-hold and the cost of diving and locomotion to capture prey. However, it remains poorly understood how predators modulate foraging performance when feeding… read more here.
