2. Temporal scales of foraging in a marine predator: implications for interpreting the distribution of prey

   Abstract:  The pattern of prey distribution can profoundly affect the foraging behavior and ... success of a predator. In pelagic marine ecosystems, where prey is often patchily distributed, predators ... must be able to adapt quickly to changes in the spatial patterning of prey. Antarctic fur seals feed ... indication of the distance between patches. The frequency distribution of intervals between bouts of foraging ...
