The examples come from an array of disciplines, with the chapters in this volume written by leading scientific experts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, abalone, an incredibly slow-moving invertebrate, exhibits a homing behavior in its grazing, centered around a home location, much the same as better-known vertebrates, such as elephant seals, sharks, and sea turtles. The latter use magnetic cues to guide their navigation throughout the apparently featureless ocean. Similarly, aggressive behavior is displayed even by invertebrates such as the owl limpet, just as do vertebrates from tiny tube blennies to massive white sharks.  Other examples come from feeding tactics, again very diverse, ranging from reef mantas swimming in a stacked formation filter feeding upon plankton to bottlenose dolphins dislodging prey from the seafloor with a sponge on their snout.  The marine environment is rich in the diversity of behaviors among its inhabitants, and this volume intends to share little-known aspects with you, the readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. A. Peter Klimley \u003c\/strong\u003ehas written \u0026gt;200 scientific articles, four books and served as editor of 5 special journal issues on the behavior, physiology, and ecology over four decades.  His early studies ranged from the complex social habits and keen navigational abilities of hammerhead sharks to the feeding tactics and communication behavior of white sharks.  In mid-career he wrote a reference volume, “The Biology of Sharks and Rays”. His latter career has been devoted to describing the movement ecology of a broad diversity of animals. Pete jointly organized MigraMar, scientists whose studies have led to expanding the boundaries of reserves at islands within the Eastern Tropical Pacific. He developed tracking technologies and founded Animal Biotelemetry. Pete was Director of the Biotelemetry Laboratory and an Adjunct Professor at the University of California, Davis.He received a M.S. in oceanography from the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and a Ph.D. in marine biology from Scripps Institution of Oceanography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. David G. Ainley\u003c\/strong\u003e has worked on marine birds, mammals, upper trophic level fish, and the prey of each, from which he has received numerous awards. He has authored or co-authored 5 books and co-edited two others, and has published \u0026gt;300 peer-reviewed papers. This has come from ecological research on marine birds, mammals and fish in Antarctica, the ecology of birds and mammals along the West Coast of the United States, and marine bird community ecology in the eastern tropical and temperate Pacific, including Hawaii. David received a B.S. in Biology from Dickinson College and a Ph.D. in Animal Behavior and Ecology from Johns Hopkins University interactions; assessing natural and anthropogenic changes in populations of birds, mammals, and turtles in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary; the impacts of offshore wind energy systems on the marine ecosystem; and development of remote attachment and release mechanisms for data recorders on cetaceans, pinnipeds, and sea turtles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. James T. Harvey\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor emeritus and the former director of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories\/San José State University. Jim’s research interests for the past 45 years include the ecology, morphology, and behavior of marine mammals, birds, and turtles; VHF\/satellite-telemetry; marine mammal\/fisheries interactions; vertebrate sampling techniques, and experimental design. His past research has included studies of population dynamics, food consumption, radio-tagging, and behavior of harbor seals, California sea lions, large whales, sea turtles, and seabirds. Most of his research has been conducted in the North Pacific. He received a B.S. from San José State University, a M.S. from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories\/SJSU, a Ph.D. from Oregon State University, and was a postdoctoral fellow at The National Marine Mammal Laboratory\/NOAA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFins Attached Marine Research and Conservation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032456564\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Fins Attached Marine Research and Conservation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63414065627276,"sku":"9783032456564","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032456564","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
