Leave or stay? Video-logger revealed foraging efficiency of humpback whales under temporal change in prey density.

Central place foraging theory (CPF) has been used to predict the optimal patch residence time for air-breathing marine predators in response to patch quality. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) forage on densely aggregated prey, which may induce drastic change in prey density in a single feedi...
