Finescale topographical correlates of behavioural investment in offspring by female grey seals, Halichoerus grypus [PDF]
, 2000 Grey seals breed colonially on substrates ranging from ice to rocky or sandy beaches. Clear differences in seal behaviour patterns exist among such broad classes of breeding habitat.

The role of oxytocin in the maternal behaviour of the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) [PDF]
, 2015 The neuropeptide hormone oxytocin plays an integral role in mammalian reproductive endocrinology and behaviour. It has been utilised to study the physiological factors driving maternal behaviour in both laboratory and domestic mammals, but few studies ...

Increasing numbers of harbour seals and grey seals in the Solent
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) both occur within the UK, but display regional contrasting population trends. While grey seals are typically increasing in number, harbour seals have shown varying trends in recent ...

Deiminated Proteins and Extracellular Vesicles as Novel Biomarkers in Pinnipeds: Grey seal (Halichoerus gryptus) and Harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) [PDF]
, 2020 Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are phylogenetically conserved calcium-dependent enzymes which post-translationally convert arginine into citrulline in target proteins in an irreversible manner, leading to functional and structural changes in target ...

On the dynamics and selective transport of fatty acids and organochlorines in lactating grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) [PDF]
, 2010 This thesis examines fatty acid (FA) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) dynamics in a marine top predator, the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus,) and their transfer during lactation from mother to offspring.

A novel tool to mitigate by-catch mortality of baltic seals in coastal fyke net fishery.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Developing methods to reduce the incidental catch of non-target species is important, as by-catch mortality poses threats especially to large aquatic predators.

The diet and feeding ecology of harbour seals around Britain [PDF]
, 2015 Since 2000, there has been a marked decline in the number of harbour seals in some regions around Britain; one possible contributing cause is competition for prey with sympatric grey seals.

An approximate Bayesian method applied to estimating the trajectories of four British grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) populations from pup counts. [PDF]
, 2011 1. For British grey seals, as with many pinniped species, population monitoring is implemented by aerial surveys of pups at breeding colonies. Scaling pup counts up to population estimates requires assumptions about population structure; this is ...
