Immunity, life history and conservation in the Galapagos sea lion [PDF]

, 2012
Infectious disease threatens health and biodiversity across the globe, and disease emergence may become more common as humans further encroach on habitats and modify environments. To assess the risks of disease emergence in natural populations accurately,

Xenotransplantation of porcine progenitor cells in an epileptic California sea lion (Zalophus californianus): illustrative case. [PDF]

J Neurosurg Case Lessons, 2022
BACKGROUND: Domoic acid (DA) is a naturally occurring neurotoxin harmful to marine animals and humans. California sea lions exposed to DA in prey during algal blooms along the Pacific coast exhibit significant neurological symptoms, including epilepsy ...

Quantifying the linkages between California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) strandings and particulate domoic acid concentrations at piers across Southern California

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Domoic acid-producing blooms of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia are pervasive in coastal environments globally. Domoic acid, a neurotoxin, accumulates via trophic transfer into marine food webs and is often associated with mass marine mammal mortality ...

Food limitation of sea lion pups and the decline of forage off central and southern California [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
California sea lions increased from approximately 50 000 to 340 000 animals in the last 40 years, and their pups are starving and stranding on beaches in southern California, raising questions about the adequacy of their food supply.

Ecological regionalization of Zalophus californianus rookeries, as a tool for conservation in the Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 2011
California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) rookeries in the Gulf of California are structured genetically in distinct groups. Despite this evidence for regional differentiation, the sea lion population of the Gulf of California is managed as a single ...

Past exploitation of California sea lions did not lead to a genetic bottleneck in the Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 2010
Human exploitation can lead to genetic bottlenecks associated with reduced genetic variability and lower fitness. The population of California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) in the Gulf of California, Mexico, was hunted during the 19th and 20th ...
