Colonially breeding birds and mammals form some of the largest gatherings of apex predators in the natural world and have provided model systems for studying mechanisms of population regulation in animals. According to one influential hypothesis, int... Read More about Direct evidence of a prey depletion "halo" surrounding a pelagic predator colony.

Residency and reproductive status of yellowfin tuna in a proposed large-scale pelagic marine protected area (2018)
Journal Article
Richardson, A. J., Downes, K. J., Nolan, E. T., Brickle, P., Brown, J., Weber, N., & Weber, S. B. (2018). Residency and reproductive status of yellowfin tuna in a proposed large-scale pelagic marine protected area.

Since the year 2000, the designation of remote, large-scale marine protected areas (LSMPAs) has closed over 15 × 106 km2 of ocean to commercial fishing. Yet, while these mega-reserves have collectively made a major contribution toward meeting global...
