Potential Tool Use by Wolves (<i>Canis lupus</i>): Crab Trap Pulling in Haíɫzaqv Nation Territory. [PDF]
Recently, recurring damage to crab traps used by Haíɫzaqv Nation Guardians to control a European Green Crab invasion was investigated with remote cameras. A wolf was recorded emerging from the water carrying a crab trap buoy, then sequentially pulling the attached line up the beach until the initially submerged trap emerged from the water, with the ...

Population Trend and Elasticities of Vital Rates for Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Eastern Gulf of Alaska: A New Life-History Table Analysis. [PDF]
Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) numbers are beginning to recover across most of the western distinct population segment following catastrophic declines that began in the 1970s and ended around the turn of the century.

Congenital Ocular Findings in an Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus). [PDF]
This study reports the first documented case of bilateral congenital cataract associated with retinal dysplasia in an Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) calf. Ophthalmologic examination and ocular ultrasonography confirmed lens opacity at the posterior pole, which correlated with behavioural deficits consistent with visual impairment.

Steller Sea Lion (Eumetopias jubatus) Response to Non-lethal Hazing at Bonneville Dam
Protected Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) aggregate at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River and prey upon multiple species of endangered salmon ascending the river. Hazing is a non-lethal activity designed to repel sea lions that includes aversive

Reduced survival of Steller sea lions in the Gulf of Alaska following marine heatwave
The North Pacific marine heatwave of 2014–2016 (PMH), one of the most geographically-extensive and severe marine heatwaves on record, resulted in widespread and persistent perturbation of the Gulf of Alaska and California Current ecosystems.

Survival of adult Steller sea lions in Alaska: senescence, annual variation and covariation with male reproductive success [PDF]
Population dynamics of long-lived vertebrates depend critically on adult survival, yet factors affecting survival and covariation between survival and other vital rates in adults remain poorly examined for many taxonomic groups of long-lived mammals (e.g.
