Analysing the natural population growth of a large marine mammal after a depletive harvest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An understanding of the underlying processes and comprehensive history of population growth after a harvest-driven depletion is necessary when assessing the long-term effectiveness of management and conservation strategies.

Head-mounted accelerometry accurately detects prey capture in California sea lions

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry, 2021
Detecting when and where animals feed is key to understanding their ecophysiology, but our ability to collect these data in marine mammals remains limited.

Ultra‐Thick Carbon Microhoneycomb Cathode for High‐Capacity Lithium‐Oxygen Batteries

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates ultra‐thick biochar‐derived carbon microhoneycomb cathodes for lithium‐oxygen batteries. The penetrated macrochannels serve as highly efficient pathways for Li+ and O2 and provide abundant accommodation space for the discharge product. The optimized cathode achieved a high areal capacity of 38.2 mAh cm–2, providing guidelines for

Trends and Potential Interactions Between Pinnipeds and Fisheries of New England and the U.S. West Coast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Long-term trends in the abundance and distribution of several pinniped species and commercially important fisheries of New England and the contiguous U.S. west coast are reviewed, and their actual and potential interactions discussed.

Persistent Contaminants and Herpesvirus OtHV1 Are Positively Associated With Cancer in Wild California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The prevalence of cancer in wild California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) is one of the highest amongst mammals, with 18–23% of adult animals examined post-mortem over the past 40 years having urogenital carcinoma. To date, organochlorines, genotype

Disparities in Hearing Screening Practices in Minnesota Elementary Schools

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying and addressing pediatric hearing loss is critical to supporting a child's development. School‐based hearing screening is a mainstay of timely identification of hearing loss. The objectives of this study were to characterize the current hearing screening practices in public, charter, and private elementary schools in ...

Coyote (Canis latrans) use of marine resources in coastal California: A new behavior relative to their recent ancestors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Coyotes ( Canis latrans) are known to consume marine foods, but the importance and persistence of marine subsidies to coyotes is unknown. Recent access to a marine subsidy, especially if gained following apex predator loss, may facilitate coyote ...

Hematology of mountain lions (Puma concolor) in the Sierra Nevada, California, USA: effect of sex, season, or location?

open access: yesCalifornia Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2020
There is a paucity of published hematological data for wild, free-ranging mountain lions (Puma concolor). We collected such information from mountain lions occurring at mid-elevations to increase available baseline information. We captured and sampled

Phylogeny and Pathology of Anisakids Parasitizing Stranded California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus) in Southern California

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In marine mammals, nematode-inflicted pathological lesions combined with other pathogens and factors (i.e., pollution, climate change, domoic acid poisoning events, and seasonal El Nino starvation events) negatively impact pinnipeds’ health and may cause

Combining the Underwater Vision Profiler 6 with sediment traps to measure in situ velocity of marine particles

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Particles sinking from the surface to the deep ocean play a key role in the biological carbon pump, whose efficiency depends partly on sinking velocities. Over the last decade, in situ imaging has enabled critical advances in our understanding of particle dynamics in the ocean.
