Read highlights in this week’s issue of PNAS: We examine how turbulence enhances seagrass wave attenuation along coastlines, analyze the feeding patterns of marine Mediterranean megafauna, and study aerodynamics of flexible flapping-wing flight. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Pictured are striped dolphins cruising in the Mediterranean Sea. Charlotte Lambert et al. examined the abundance, diets, and energy requirements of marine megafauna in the Mediterranean Sea. Around 4.1 million individuals comprising fishes, mammals, reptiles, and birds consume 1.6 million tons of prey each summer, primarily pelagic cephalopods. Cetaceans and tunas are the primary consumers.
