Antarctic killer whales make rapid, round-trip movements to subtropical waters: evidence for physiological maintenance migrations?
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are important predators in high latitudes, where their ecological impact is mediated through their movements. We used satellite telemetry to provide the first evidence of migration for killer whales, characterized by fast (more than 12 km h(−1), 6.5 knots) and direct mov...
