Computational visual ecology in the pelagic realm
Visual performance and visual interactions in pelagic animals are notoriously hard to investigate because of our restricted access to the habitat. The pelagic visual world is also dramatically different from benthic or terrestrial habitats, and our intuition is less helpful in understanding vision in unfamiliar environments. Here, we develop a computational approach to investigate visual ecolog...
متن کاملNew Insights into Pelagic Migrations: Implications for Ecology and Conservation
Highly pelagic large marine vertebrates have evolved the capability of moving across large expanses of the marine environment; some species routinely move across entire ocean basins. Our understanding of these movements has been enhanced by new technologies that now allow us to follow their movements over great distances and long time periods in great detail. This technology provides not only d...
متن کاملClimate-induced effects on the meroplankton and the benthic-pelagic ecology of the North Sea
Analyses of long-term time series of North Sea plankton and sea surface temperature (SST) data reveal that the annual planktonic larval abundance of three benthic phyla, Echinodermata, Arthropoda, and Mollusca, responds positively and immediately to SST. Long-term outcomes for the planktonic abundance of these three phyla are different, however. The planktonic larvae of echinoderms and decapod ...
متن کاملAcoustic Behavior, Baseline Ecology and Habitat Use of Pelagic Odontocete Species of Concern
Obtain critical sound use, behavioral ecology, and fine-scale habitat information of two pelagic species of odontocete cetaceans which inhabit regions of significant U.S. Naval operations and may be impacted by coincident Naval training activities. The goal is to establish baseline acoustics, behavior and ecology of these species to predict and mitigate potential human impacts. Information gain...
متن کاملFeeding ecology of pelagic fish larvae and juveniles in slope waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Stable isotope ratios of carbon (delta13C) and nitrogen (delta15N) were used to investigate feeding patterns of larval and early juvenile pelagic fishes in slope waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Contribution of organic matter supplied to fishes and trophic position within this pelagic food web was estimated in 2007 and 2008 by comparing dietary signatures of the two main producers in this ecosyste...
