Journal ArticleDOI
Prey dynamics affect foraging by a pelagic predator (Stenella longirostris) over a range of spatial and temporal scales
TL;DR: The overlap of Hawaiian spinner dolphins and their prey at many temporal and spatial scales, ranging from several minutes to an entire night and 20 m to several kilometers, indicates that the availability of truly synoptic data may fundamentally alter the authors' conclusions about pelagic predator-prey interactions.

TL;DR: A review on the technologies available to make globally quantitative observations of particles, in general, and plankton, in particular, in the world oceans, and for sizes varying from sub-micron to centimeters is presented in this article.

TL;DR: It is found that habitat use by all three predators was predicted most strongly by prey patch characteristics such as depth and local density within spatial aggregations, supporting the hypothesis that patchiness may be critical for understanding predator-prey relationships in pelagic marine systems more generally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic gain control in the echolocation system of dolphins
TL;DR: It is shown that dolphins do possess an automatic gain control mechanism, but that it is implemented in the transmission phase rather than the receiving phase of a sonar cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative prey herding by the pelagic dolphin, Stenella longirostris
TL;DR: It is estimated that each dolphin working in concert has more access to prey than it would if feeding individually, despite the costs of participating in the group maneuvers, supporting the cooperation hypothesis and evidence of a prey density threshold for feeding suggests that feedback from the environment may be enough to favor the evolution of cooperation.
