Sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus ) are anadromous fish that spend one to two years as haematophagous ectoparasites in marine environments. This study provides the first quantitative insight into their feeding phase, which remains poorly un…

Circles in the sea: annual courtship “torus” behaviour of basking sharks <i>Cetorhinus maximus</i> identified in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean Open
Groups of basking sharks engaged in circling behaviour are rarely observed, and their function remains enigmatic in the absence of detailed observations. Here, underwater and aerial video recordings of multiple circling groups of basking s…
