Journal ArticleDOI
Killer Whale Predation on Sea Otters Linking Oceanic and Nearshore Ecosystems
TL;DR: Elevated sea urchin density and the consequent deforestation of kelp beds in the nearshore community demonstrate that the otter's keystone role has been reduced or eliminated in the offshore oceanic ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A precipitous drop in costs and increase in sequencing efficiency is anticipated, with concomitant development of improved annotation technology, and it is proposed to create a collection of tissue and DNA specimens for 10,000 vertebrate species specifically designated for whole-genome sequencing in the very near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential megafaunal collapse in the North Pacific Ocean: An ongoing legacy of industrial whaling?
Alan M. Springer,James A. Estes,G. B. van Vliet,Terrie M. Williams,Daniel F. Doak,Eric M. Danner,Karin A. Forney,B. Pfister +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that decimation of the great whales by post-World War II industrial whaling caused the great whale' foremost natural predators, killer whales, to begin feeding more intensively on the smaller marine mammals, thus “fishing-down” this element of the marine food web.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sink or swim: strategies for cost-efficient diving by marine mammals.
Terrie M. Williams,Randall W. Davis,Lee A. Fuiman,John Francis,B. J. Le Boeuf,Markus Horning,John Calambokidis,Donald A. Croll +7 more
TL;DR: Video sequences of freely diving seals and whales wearing submersible cameras reveal a behavioral strategy that improves energetic efficiency in these animals and allows marine mammals to increase aerobic dive duration and achieve remarkable depths despite limited oxygen availability when submerged.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hunting Behavior of a Marine Mammal Beneath the Antarctic Fast Ice
Randall W. Davis,Lee A. Fuiman,Terrie M. Williams,S. O. Collier,W. P. Hagey,Shane B. Kanatous,Suzanne Kohin,Markus Horning +7 more
TL;DR: The hunting behavior of a marine mammal was studied beneath the Antarctic fast ice with an animal-borne video system and data recorder to highlight the broad range of insights possible with simultaneous recordings of video, audio, three-dimensional dive paths, and locomotor effort.
