A statistical investigation of the behavioural responses of a deep diving predator to mesoscale oceanographic features
… DF=24986, p < 0.01) could be attributed to diving within the eddy field. Within the eddy field U-dives increased by 6.97, W dives decreased by 7.18 and O-dives increased by 0.21. Seven individuals’ maximum dive depths were shallower and nine individuals dive durations were shorter as a …

Feeling out Your Food: A Histological Analysis of the Whisker System in Seals
… all mammals and is especially important in deep-diving mammals. Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses) have highly sensitive whiskers that are used to follow hydrodynamic trails created by their swimming prey. Each pinniped vibrissa is surrounded by a tripartite blood sinus system …

Metabolic lipid regulation during developmental stress : fatty acid dynamics in fasting northern elephant seals.
… is a temporally insulin resistant, deep-diving marine mammal reliant on fatty acid oxidation during seasonal fasting. Over the fast, NES females and weaned pups were found to oppositely utilize monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids, while polyunsaturated fatty acids generally …

Movements and oceanographic associations of large pelagic fishes in the North Atlantic Ocean
… due to long-distance migrations and regular deep diving. Despite the dominance of oceanographic features, such as fronts and eddies, in the open ocean, the biophysical interactions occurring at the oceanic (sub)mesoscale (< 100 km) remain poorly understood. This leads to a paucity of …

The Ecology of Cuvier’s beaked whale, Ziphius cavirostris (Cetacea: Ziphiidae), in the Bay of Biscay
… beaked whale, this study investigated other deep-diving cetaceans (Northern bottlenose whale, Hyperoodon ampullatus, Sowerby’s beaked whale, Mesoplodon bidens, Sperm whale, Physalus macrocephalus, Pilot whale, Globicephala melas) and non-deep diving cetaceans (Fin whale, Balaenoptera …

Computer aided reliability based design of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells under external pressure
… the design pressure and the maximum expected overdiving, is proposed to cover operational factors. For deep diving vessels or in cases in which the risk of overdiving is not relevant, it is proposed that the overall safety factors used in design may be smaller than those presently recommended. In …

Aquabatics as New Works of Live Art
… describes the research nexus of occupational diving and contemporary performance. The purpose of this body of research has been to explore underwater performance, behaviour and boarders, in order to both devise new works of live art and to develop new methodologies and approaches to …
