A large team of marine scientists affiliated with a host of institutions across the U.S. has learned how some marine apex predators react to short-term heat waves. In their study, published in the journal Nature Communications, the group analyzed tag data from ocean species, including sharks and whales, to learn more about their behavior during these heat waves.
become even more common. To find out, they obtained data from species that had been tagged during other research projects and compared it with known marine short-term heat waves to see if they could identify any changes in behavior. They also used the data as input to a machine learning application to broaden their findings and also to make predictions about the future behavior of 14 species of apex predators.
In addition to sharks and whales, the team also included tuna, turtles, seabirds and several types of mammals. They were able to track changes in apex marine creature behavior during heat waves that occurred in the northeast Pacific Ocean during the years 2020, 2019, 2015 and 2014. In looking at the behavior of the sea creatures, the team found variable responses—some suffered while others prospered. Bluefin tuna and blue sharks, for example, were forced to deal with near total loss of their habitat during a 2015 heat wave. On the opposite end of the spectrum, sea lions and
