This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

Determination of how animals allocate activities (such as resting, feeding and breeding) to space and time is fundamental for understanding their ecology, their role in ecosystems, and in assessing the impact of their environment on them (e.g. as possibly caused by offshore wind farms). In order to obtain such data in the context of the MINOS2 and MINOS+ project, we equipped harbour…

For a previous Scottish Government funded project (MMSS/001/11), seal telemetry data were combined with haul-out specific population data to generate usage maps for both grey and harbour seals around the United Kingdom (UK) and Republic of Ireland (ROI) at a spatial resolution of 5 x 5 km (Jones et al., 2013). These maps provided estimates of seal abundance (and associated confidence intervals…
