DESCRIPTION:Änderungsmitteilung: New location: Möggingen\n Oceanic ecosys
 tems comprise Earth's largest living space. In these vast\, fluid\, and mo
 stly dark ecosystems\, resources aggregate in patchy\, fleeting hotspots o
 f biological activity. These conditions pose immense challenges both for r
 esident lifeforms and researchers seeking to elucidate their behavior. How
  do oceanic predators find ephemeral patches of plenty in their vast &amp\
 ; dynamic home? How can researchers make the observations required to unde
 rstand &amp\; steward life at sea? Here I show how coordinated observation
 s of predators\, prey\, and the fluid environment in which they interact a
 re unveiling the ecology of oceanic collective behavior. I focus primarily
  on the mechanisms underlying blue whales’ collective foraging and migra
 tion. I present recent discoveries made across oceanic scales\, showing ho
 w physical oceanographic forcing mediates the distribution and behavior of
  blue whales’ obligate krill prey\, which in turn influence blue whales
 ’ production and use of social information. Investigating these question
 s under the unique conditions of ocean ecosystems can deepen our understan
 ding of how biophysical variation and information shape behavioral ecology
  and evolution.\nVortragende(r): Will Oestreich
