Quasi-planktonic behavior of foraging top marine predators

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Alice Della Penna from the CEA have published the Article: Quasi-planktonic behavior of foraging top marine predators, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
  • what: The authors aim at assessing the impact of ocean currents on one of the fastest marine predators for which high-resolution tracking is available: the southern elephant seal. To quantitatively associate horizontal passive movement to a predator's trajectory, the authors compare the animal's trajectory to that of real buoys and of virtual particles purely displaced by advection, obtained by integrating altimetry-derived currents in time.
