Open DOI
Coevolutionary attack and avoidance strategies in predators and grouping prey
The formation of groups by prey is one of the most widespread evolutionary responses to predation. However, while the anti-predation benefits provided to prey within groups have been extensively explored in the literature, the subsequent...

Agonistic interactions and vocalizations among Procellariiformes in multi-species feeding aggregations, observed through bird-borne cameras
Marine predators frequently aggregate at food sources, where interactions can range from cooperative group hunting to interference competition for resources. To investigate interactions at feeding aggregations among procellariiforms, we ...

How volant seabirds benefit from sub-surface predators during multi-predator feeding aggregations
Multi-predator feeding aggregations are common in marine ecosystems and frequently involve seabirds. Often labelled opportunistic ‘scroungers’, volant seabirds derive diverse benefits from the association with sub-surface predators (such...

Multi-predator feeding aggregations: understanding dynamic communities through functional niches and demographic analysis tools
Multi-predator feeding aggregations (MPFAs) are ocean events whereby two or more species forage on the same or co-occurring prey. Such communities are dynamic, with community structure reflecting the connections between species and the b...

Escalating competition in changing seas: baleen whales exploit killer whale prey herding
Climate change and other anthropogenic pressures are rapidly reshaping marine ecosystems, altering prey availability and predator interactions. Yet empirical evidence of how these relationships shift under changing conditions remains sca...

Interactions between multi-species marine predator aggregations and the energy landscape
Multi-species predator aggregations can be found in both coastal and pelagic ecosystems, forming for both foraging and refuging (resting) purposes. The energy landscape represents the power costs required to move through or reside within...

The presence of mahi-mahi at multi-predator feeding aggregations modifies striped marlin attack behaviour
Terrestrial multi-species predator feeding aggregations (MPFAs) are characterized by contest competition, but scramble competition is likely more common at MPFAs in pelagic waters. However, empirical investigations are rare. Aerial video...

Multi-predator feeding aggregations in pelagic waters
Multi-predator feeding aggregations (MPFAs) are temporary co-occurrences of several species of predators simultaneously exploiting the same prey resource. Pelagic waters are home to the largest and most diverse MPFAs on the planet, howev...

Locomotion and hunting strategies of large vertebrate predators in pelagic waters
Many of the key dynamics that shape predator–prey interactions are governed by the physical and physiological principles which determine how animals move and perform in their environments. This opinion paper outlines the foundations unde...

Increases in foraging performance of humpback whales in multi-predator feeding aggregations with California sea lions
Marine predators frequently form ephemeral multi-predator feeding aggregations around dense prey patches, yet the mechanisms and outcomes of these dynamic events remain poorly resolved. We quantified how California sea lion (Zalophus cal...
