Filter-feeding is a common strategy in aquatic habitats, especially the ocean. It uses anatomical devices that act as strainers to remove small food items from the water. Sessile filter-feeders, such as barnacles, oysters, fanworms, brachiopods, and tunicates sit in one place, pumping sea ...

2020). These sites are useful until the depletion of food, but penguins must find alternative foraging sites over time (Watanabe et al. 2020; Michelot et al. 2021). On the other hand, penguins in a few colonies utilize a bimodal foraging strategy, alternating between short and long ...

The waters in the upper Gulf of Thailand are low in oxygen as a result of sewage flowing in from the nearby rivers, probably leading the prey that the whales depend upon to be limited to living at the water surface and forcing whales to adapt their feeding strategy. ...
