What drives animals to go where they go? In this podcast Professor David Sims talks about his research group's detailed study of basking shark aggregations off the West coast of Ireland.  

"The sharks were circling around in in a really tight circle: strange, not usual for a foraging situation".

This podcast builds on David's article, 'Basking shark circles' that appeared in the January edition of The Marine Biologist, the magazine for members of the Marine Biological Association.

Professor David Sims is a Senior Research Fellow at the MBA where he leads the Movement Ecology and Conservation of Ocean Predators research group.
