Estimating the distribution of demand for Antarctic krill (Euphauisa superba) from land-based predators at South Georgia [PDF]
, 2007 South Georgia is renowned for the abundance of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and a range of krill predators. Variability in krill availability at a range of scales, and the consequences of this for predator-prey interactions, mean that quantifying ...

Anti-predator behaviour of Cape fur seals Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus in relation to predation by white sharks Carcharodon carcharias around Seal Island, False Bay, South Africa [PDF]
, 2010 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 161-202).How predators affect the behaviour of their prey is one of the most studied subjects in behavioural ecology, with many hypothesis and models explaining how animals should behave and even more ...

Polar Research, 2018 Antarctic (Arctocephalus gazella) and Subantarctic (A. tropicalis) fur seals are important predators in the Southern Ocean. Marion Island (southern Indian Ocean) hosts the largest sympatric breeding populations of these two species.

Impact of rising sea levels on Australian fur seals [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Global warming is leading to many unprecedented changes in the ocean-climate system. Sea levels are rising at an increasing rate and are amplifying the impact of storm surges along coastlines. As variability in the timing and strength of storm surges has

Foraging strategies in grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) : foraging effort and prey selection [PDF]
, 2009 Swimming speeds and prey selection of temporally captive, wild grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) were investigated in relation to prey characteristics in an experimental set-up at the Sea Mammal Research Unit (St Andrews, UK).

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 A key aspect of foraging ecology research is understanding how predator foraging behavior and success are influenced by variation in prey resources. For northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus), an understanding of predator-prey relationships is critical

Investigating monitoring options for harbour seals in Special Areas of Conservation in Scotland [PDF]
, 2007 Managing a wild population effectively requires knowledge of the abundance and behaviour of the species. Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) are usually counted when they come ashore at haul-out sites, and so it is important to understand how the number of ...

Clawed forelimbs allow northern seals to eat like their ancient ancestors [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Streamlined flippers are often considered the defining feature of seals and sea lions, whose very name ‘pinniped’ comes from the Latin pinna and pedis, meaning ‘fin-footed’. Yet not all pinniped limbs are alike. Whereas otariids (fur seals and sea lions)

Protected area use by two sympatric marine predators repopulating their historical range
Endangered Species Research, 2021 As large carnivores recover from over-exploitation, managers often lack evidence-based information on species habitat requirements and the efficacy of management practices, particularly where species repopulate areas from which they have long been ...
