... foraging in fast flows because of a high attack cost and low prey capture success associated with leaving a station-holding refuge to intercept prey. By integrating optimum foraging theory with empirical data from respirometry and video tracking, we developed a mathematical model to predict when drift...

Using acoustic DTAGs, we demonstrate that just prior to prey interception these delphinids change their acoustic...
