Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; De Bruyn, P.J. Nico; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt (Inter-Research, 2011-05-05)Killer whales Orcinus orca are apex predators known to have important effects on marine ecosystems. A fundamental step towards understanding their role in ecosystems, and vital for their informed management and conservation, ...

Jordaan, Rowan Keith; Oosthuizen, Wessel Christiaan; Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; De Bruyn, P.J. Nico (Nordic Council for Wildlife Research, 2020)Killer whales, Orcinus orca, are a cosmopolitan species with large ecological and demographic variation across populations. Population-specific demographic studies are, therefore, crucial in accurately assessing the status ...

Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; De Bruyn, P.J. Nico; Pistorius, Pierre Anton; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt (Springer, 2010-04)We report two observations of adult male Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella, preying on large octopods at subAntarctic Marion Island during July and August 2008. If Antarctic fur seals take cephalopods ...

Towner, Alison V.; Wcisel, Michelle A.; Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; Edwards, David; Jewell, Oliver Joseph David; Danilo, Russo (Public Library of Science, 2013-06-12)South Africa is reputed to host the world’s largest remaining population of white sharks, yet no studies have accurately determined a population estimate based on mark-recapture of live individuals. We used dorsal fin ...

Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; McIntyre, Trevor; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt (Springer, 2009-09)Goose barnacles (Lepas australis) attached to satellite-relay data loggers were carried by three southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) from Marion Island. Their movements across the Polar Frontal Zone are presented, ...

Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; Raymond, Ben; Hindell, Mark A.; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt; Crawford, Robert J.M.; Davies, Delia; De Bruyn, P.J. Nico; Dilley, Ben J.; Kirkman, Stephen P.; Makhado, Azwianewi B.; Ryan, Peter G.; Schoombie, Stefan; Stevens, Kim; Sumner, Michael D.; Tosh, Cheryl A.; Wege, Mia; Whitehead, Thomas Otto; Wotherspoon, Simon; Pistorius, Pierre Anton (Wiley, 2018-04)AIM : The distribution of marine predators is driven by the distribution and abundance of their prey; areas preferred by multiple marine predator species should therefore indicate areas of ecological significance. The ...

Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt (Springer, 2010-05)Southern elephant seals range extensively during regular foraging excursions. Despite this they are highly philopatric and long range dispersal is rare. At Gough Island, southern Atlantic Ocean, we observed a breeding adult ...

Nico; Oosthuizen, Wessel Christiaan; Tosh, Cheryl A.; McIntyre, Trevor; Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; Postma, Martin; Van der Merwe, Derek S.; Wege, Mia (Taylor & Francis, 2011)The Marine Mammal Programme (MMP) conducts research on pinnipeds and killer whales Orcinus orca at Marion Island, Prince Edward Islands, under the auspices of the Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and ...

Haddad, William A.; Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; Scott, Tristan; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt; De Bruyn, P.J. Nico (Springer, 2015-05)Sexual coercion is the use of force to achieve mating, while reproductive interference encompasses many forms of interspecific interactions during mating. We describe three new occurrences of the sexual coercion of king ...
