First records of hooded seals ( Cystophora cristata) in the Mediterranean Sea
Between the years 1996 and 2006 the Threatened Marine Species Recovery Centre (CREMA) detected 14 strandings and sightings of hooded seals in the coasts surrounding the Strait of Gibraltar. Five strandings and the only three sightings occurred on the Spanish coasts of the Mediterranean Sea.

Killer whales are moving northward into the Arctic as sea ice melts from a warming climate. Using genetics, we identified two highly distinct Canadian Arctic populations with origins from the western and eastern North Atlantic that appear to be at risk from both inbreeding and harvest.

Abstract The first year of life is critical for large mammals to acquire foraging and predator avoidance skills. Southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) pups wean at approximately three weeks of age and depart on their first foraging trips in midsummer, typically remaining at sea for three to four months before returning to their natal islands.

Evidence of seawater drinking in fasting subadult hooded seals (Cystophora cristata)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the total water turnover rate of fasting subadult hooded seals in order to elucidate to what extent these animals rely in seawater drinking/mariposia at this life stage. Considering mariposia is important for later accurate estimations of food consumption using water turnover rate as a proxy.
