Blue whale habitat selection and within-season distribution in a regional upwelling system off southern Australia (2011, background): “While quantitative prey data would be of prime importance as a habitat variable at a range of scales (e.g. Fiedler et al. 1998, Friedlaender et al. 2006), the only prey data available in our study were those from aerial observations at the ocean surface, so we can only draw inferences from other…”
Oceanic circumpolar habitats of Antarctic krill (2008, background): “Many non-land breeders such as icefish (Koch et al. 1994) and whales (Reilly et al. 2004, Friedlaender et al. 2006) also concentrate in chl a-rich habitats, while the distribution of others relative to chl a is unknown (e.g. squid or myctophid fish).”
Spatial association between hotspots of baleen whales and demographic patterns of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba suggests size-dependent predation (2010, methodology): “Previous studies have relied heavily on hydroacoustics to relate krill distribution and foraging whales (Piatt & Methven 1992, Reid et al. 2000, Friedlaender et al. 2006, 2009).”
Prey density and distribution drive the three‐dimensional foraging strategies of the largest filter feeder (2015, background): “Not only is prey density a strong predictor of preda- tor habitat use in horizontal space (Friedlaender et al. 2006; Friedlaender, Lawson & Halpin 2009; Hazen et al. 2009; Benoit-Bird et al. 2011, 2013a), it also largely © 2014 The Authors.”
Evidence of resource partitioning between humpback and minke whales around the western Antarctic Peninsula (2009, methodology): “Recently, Friedlaender et al. (2006) used concurrent 95 Friedlaender et al. Antarctic whale resource partitioning 5 measurements of both whale observations and an index of prey abundance to explore the 96 meso-scale distribution of sympatric humpback and minke whales combined in the inner 97 shelf…”
Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, background): “…level organisms that constitute the prey of pelagic seabirds occurs as a consequence of both behavior (e.g. shoaling/swarming, and vertical and horizontal migration; Levin 1993, Folt & Burns 1999) and physical forcing (e.g. Friedlaender et al. 2006, McGillicuddy et al. 2007, Sokolov 2008).”
Extreme diel variation in the feeding behavior of humpback whales along the western Antarctic Peninsula during autumn (2013, background): “The distribution of humpback whales in Antarctic waters is tightly coupled to that of krill throughout the feeding season (Friedlaender et al. 2006), and high densities of whales have been found associated with large aggregations of krill late in the Antarctic feeding season (Nowacek et al. 2011,…”
Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, methodology): “Accordingly, we can now describe habitat use of many species in multiple dimensions – through time and horizontal and vertical planes (Brischoux et al., 2007), thermal and dynamic environments (Ream et al., 2005; Lambardi et al., 2008) and prey fields (Friedlaender et al., 2006, Witt et al., 2007a).”
Abundance and demography of a seasonal aggregation of zebra sharks Stegostoma fasciatum (2008, background): “…include crustaceans (Osgood & Checkley 1997, Sampedro & GonzalezGurriaran 2004, Sourisseau et al. 2006), echinoderms (Young et al. 1992), teleosts (Domeier & Colin 1997, Newlands et al. 2006), chondrichthyan fishes (Wilson et al. 2001) and cetaceans (Smith & Martin 1994, Friedlaender et al. 2006).”
Fine-scale prey aggregations and foraging ecology of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (2009, background): “Traditional foraging habitats maintain predictably high prey concentrations over time, and are often characterized by proximity to shore, dynamic bathymetry, upwelling, and increased productivity (Gaskin 1982, Piatt 1990, Thiele et al. 2004, Friedlaender et al. 2006).”
