Overview

Analysis using generalised additive models shows diel patterns in foraging behaviour of harbour porpoises, suggesting conservation needs.

Key Points

  • Seasonal differences in foraging behaviour highlight the importance of local prey availability and environmental factors.
  • Analysis showed that foraging behaviour of Phocoena phocoena varies significantly across geographical regions.
  • Generalised additive models were used to assess the impact of diel phase and daylength on harbour porpoise behaviour.
  • Conservation strategies must consider the ecological dynamics influencing this species in varying habitats.
