Scale of inference: on the sensitivity of habitat models for wide-ranging marine predators to the resolution of environmental data

Understanding and predicting the responses of wide‐ranging marine predators such as cetaceans, seabirds, sharks, turtles, pinnipeds and large migratory fish to dynamic oceanographic conditions requires habitat‐based models that can sufficiently capture their environmental preferences. Marine ecosystems are inherently dynamic, and animal–environment interactions are known to occur over multiple, nested spatial and temporal scales. The spatial...
