Abstract

The study reported in this chapter was carried out in the Galá pagos Islands in parallel with the work on flightless cormorants reported in Chap. 5. Here the application of differential equation modeling to a marine reptilian system further demonstrates the broad applicability of this technique. This work formed the basis of a Master of Science thesis completed by Brianna Payne at Andrews University. Fellow graduate student Libby Megna and senior researchers Shandelle Henson, James Hayward, and Susana Velastegui Chá vez aided with data collection and analysis. The results of this research were initially published in the Journal of Coupled Systems and Multiscale Dynamics in 2015 [16].
