Environmental drivers of humpback whale foraging behavior in the remote Southern Ocean

Satellite telemetry and animal movement models advance our ability to remotely monitor the behavior of wide-ranging species. Understanding how different behaviors (e.g. foraging) are shaped by dynamic environmental features is fundamental to understanding ecological interactions and the impact of variability. In this study we deployed satellite-linked tags on humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and used state-space models to estimate...
