Scaling laws of marine predator search behaviour
David W. Sims,Emily J. Southall,Nicolas E. Humphries,Graeme C. Hays,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Jonathan W. Pitchford,Alex James,Alex James,Mohammed Zaki Ahmed,Andrew S. Brierley,Mark A. Hindell,David Morritt,Michael K. Musyl,David Righton,Emily L. C. Shepard,Victoria J. Wearmouth,Rory P. Wilson,Matthew J. Witt,Julian D. Metcalfe +19 more
TL;DR: Simulations show that predators have higher encounter rates when adopting Lévy-type foraging in natural-like prey fields compared with purely random landscapes, consistent with the hypothesis that observed search patterns are adapted to observed statistical patterns of the landscape.

TL;DR: This exercise assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on marine megafauna, which include a broad range of birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish, and shows that the questions have broad applicability to other taxa, including terrestrial animals, flying insects, and swimming invertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oceanic spawning migration of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla).
Kim Aarestrup,Finn Økland,Michael Møller Hansen,David Righton,Patrik Gargan,Martin Castonguay,Louis Bernatchez,Paul Howey,Henrik Sparholt,Michael Pedersen,R. S. McKinley +10 more
TL;DR: Information is presented about the swimming direction, depth, and migratory behavior of European eels during spawning migration, based on a miniaturized pop-up satellite archival transmitter, which covered the first 1300 km and provided unique insights.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hunt warm, rest cool: bioenergetic strategy underlying diel vertical migration of a benthic shark
David W. Sims,Victoria J. Wearmouth,Emily J. Southall,Jacqueline M. Hill,Pippa J. Moore,Kate Rawlinson,Neil Hutchinson,Georgina C. Budd,David Righton,Julian D. Metcalfe,Jon P. Nash,David Morritt +11 more
TL;DR: These results provide the first clear evidence that are consistent with the hypothesis that a benthic marine-fish predator utilizes DVM as an energy conservation strategy that increases bioenergetic efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal niche of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima
David Righton,Ken Haste Andersen,Francis Neat,Vilhjalmur Thorsteinsson,Petur Steingrund,Henrik Svedäng,Kathrine Michalsen,Hans-Harald Hinrichsen,Victoria Bendall,Stefan Neuenfeldt,Peter J. Wright,Patrik Jonsson,Geir Huse,Jeroen van der Kooij,Henrik Mosegaard,Karin Hüssy,Julian D. Metcalfe +16 more
TL;DR: Observations of habitat occupation suggest that adult cod will be able to tolerate warming seas, but that climate change will affect cod populations at earlier life-history stages as well as exerting effects on cod prey species.
