The presence of mahi-mahi at multi-predator feeding aggregations modifies striped marlin attack behaviour

Abstract 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 was used to estimate abundances o...

Multi-predator feeding aggregations in pelagic waters

Abstract 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, however, our knowledge of the mechanism...

How volant seabirds benefit from sub-surface predators during multi-predator feeding aggregations

Abstract 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 as cetaceans, pinnipeds, Teleosts...
