Dear colleagues, I am delighted to share with you our recent opinion letter just published in Marine Mammal Science about the foraging strategy of harbour porpoises. Resilience of harbor porpoises to anthropogenic disturbance: Must they really feed continuously? Hoekendijk JPA, Spitz J, Read AJ, Leopold MF, Fontaine MC. 2018. Mar. Mamm. Sci. 34:258–264. (DOI: 10.1111/mms.12446) http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mms.12446/full This letter discuss the observations reported by Wisniewska et al in 2016 in Current Biology about the “Ultra-High Foraging Rates of Harbor Porpoises Make Them Vulnerable to Anthropogenic Disturbance”. The authors also made an answer to our letter that you can read here Response to “Resilience of harbor porpoises to anthropogenic disturbance: Must they really feed continuously?.” Wisniewska DM, Johnson M, Teilmann J, Rojano-Doñate L, Shearer J, Sveegaard S, Miller LA, Siebert U, Madsen PT. 2018. Mar. Mamm. Sci. 34:265–270. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mms.12463/full Have a wonderful Christmas and Winter Holiddays Michael, on behalf of my co-authors --
