Abstract
Several biological functions, such as reproductive success, peak during middle age in long-lived vertebrates. One possible mechanism for that peak is improved foraging performance during middle age, after a period of youthful inexperience and before senescence. Age may be particularly important in relating foraging behaviour to fitness for diving animals as altered skeletal muscle contraction efficiency or cardiovascular function could play a...
