Escalating competition in changing seas: baleen whales exploit killer whale prey herding

Abstract 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 scarce. Drawing on over a decade of m...

Increases in foraging performance of humpback whales in multi-predator feeding aggregations with California sea lions

Abstract 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 californianus) presence influenced hu...
