Living in a fluid-dynamical landscape : how do marine predators respond to turbulence? ...

Marine top predators play a fundamental role in maintaining the structure and functioning of healthy marine ecosystems. In the last decades the development of bio-logging (i.e. deployment of autonomous recording tags on free-living animals) has radically changed the study of top predators and their...
