Testing predictions of optimal diving theory using animal-borne video from harbour seals ( Phoca vitulina concolor )
Optimal diving theory predicts that animals make decisions that maximize their foraging profitability subject to the constraint of oxygen stores. We examined the temporal pattern of prey encounters within a dive from concurrently collected dive data and animal-borne video from a free-ranging pinnipe...
