    Diet and feeding strategy of Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scombrus scomber) in Icelandic waters 
    Kvaavik, Cecilia; Oskarsson, Gudmundur; Daníelsdóttir, Anna Kristín; Marteinsdottir, Gudrun (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-12-30)
    Predator-prey relations, as well as the trophic ecology of highly migratory marine species, is important to understand their impact on the ecosystem. Conventional methods were used to study the diet composition and feeding strategy of the Northeast ...

    Leave or stay? Video-logger revealed foraging efficiency of humpback whales under temporal change in prey density 
    Akiyama, Yu; Akamatsu, Tomonari; Rasmussen, Marianne; Iversen, Maria R.; Iwata, Takashi; Goto, Yusuke; Aoki, Kagari; Sato, Katsufumi (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-02-05)
    Central place foraging theory (CPF) has been used to predict the optimal patch residence time for air-breathing marine predators in response to patch quality. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) forage on densely aggregated prey, which may induce ...

    The Predation Game : Does dividing attention affect patterns of human foraging? 
    Thornton, Ian M.; Tagu, Jérôme; Zdravković, Sunčica; Kristjánsson, Árni (2021-05-06)
    Attention is known to play an important role in shaping the behaviour of both human and animal foragers. Here, in three experiments, we built on previous interactive tasks to create an online foraging game for studying divided attention in human ...

    Prey of killer whales (Orcinus orca) in Iceland 
    Samarra, Filipa; Bassoi, Manuela; Béesau, Julie; Elíasdóttir, Margrét Ó.; Gunnarsson, Karl; Mrusczok, Marie-Thérèse; Rasmussen, Marianne; Rempel, Jonathan N.; Þorvaldsson, Baldur; Víkingsson, Gísli (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-12-12)
    Killer whales have a cosmopolitan distribution and as a species are generalists, feeding on a variety of prey. However, local populations tend to specialise on specific prey types. In Icelandic waters, killer whales are generally associated with herring ...
