Population status, seasonal variation in abundance, and long-term population trends of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) at the South Farallon Islands, California [PDF]
, 2002 We examined seasonal and annual variation in numbers of Steller (northern) sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) at the South Farallon Islands from counts conducted weekly from 1974 to 1996. Numbers of adult and subadult males peaked during the breeding season (

Disentangling the cause of a catastrophic population decline in a large marine mammal [PDF]
, 2015 Considerable uncertainties often surround the causes of long-term changes in population abundance. One striking example is the precipitous decline of southern sea lions (SSL; Otaria flavescens) at the Falkland Islands, from 80 555 pups in the mid 1930s ...

Marine mammal recovery is associated with the resurgence of a nematode parasite
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract As the oceans change, the abundance of parasites and the risk of infection to marine mammals may also be changing. Nematodes in the family Anisakidae can harm marine mammals, and recent studies have revealed a global increase in these parasites, but the cause is unknown.

Tooth Size Variation in Pinniped Dentitions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 It is contentious whether size variation among mammalian teeth is heterogeneous or homogeneous, whether the coefficient of variation is reliable, and whether the standard deviation of log-transformed data and the residual of standard deviation on mean ...

Stereotypic route tracing in captive Carnivora is predicted by species-typical home range sizes and hunting styles [PDF]
, 2016 In captive conditions (e.g. zoos), some Carnivora species typically show negligible stereotypic behaviour (SB) and reproduce successfully, while others tend to reproduce poorly and be very stereotypic.

Physiological Response to Feeding in Little Penguins [PDF]
, 2006 © 2006 by The University of Chicago.Specific dynamic action (SDA), the increase in metabolic rate above resting levels that accompanies the processes of digestion and assimilation of food, can form a substantial part of the daily energy budget of free ...

Morphology and development of the baculum in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)
Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 381-391, August 2025.This study examines the ontogenetic changes in the morphology of the penis bone in the harbour seal, focusing on the implications for sexual maturity and reproductive function. A large comparative dataset of approx. 300 genital bones from 1 year to over 20 years of age was used for analyses.
