In search of virus carriers of the 1988 and 2002 phocine distemper virus outbreaks in European harbour seals [PDF]
, 2008 European harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) populations decreased substantially during the phocine distemper virus (PDV) outbreaks of 1988 and 2002. Different hypotheses have stated that various seals and terrestrial carnivore species might be the source of ...

A remotely operated blood sampling and sedative administration device in freely moving pinnipeds
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1175-1187, April 2026.Abstract A remotely operated device for use with freely moving pinnipeds was designed and successfully developed for the collection of blood samples and the administration of sedatives via an indwelling, venous catheter. The performance of the sampler, called the ‘Mossquito’, was demonstrated on six wild caught, young‐of‐the‐year grey seals ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.

Statistical developments for understanding anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems [PDF]
, 2012 Over the past decades technological developments have both changed and increased human influence on the marine environment. We now have greater potential than ever before to introduce disturbance and deplete marine resources. Two of the issues currently

Reproductive performance links to fine-scale spatial patterns of female grey seal relatedness [PDF]
, 2001 Fine–scale spatial patterns of female relatedness throughout the established grey seal breeding colony of North Rona, Scotland, were investigated by accurate mapping and spatially explicit analyses of a large sample (n=262) of mothers using variation at ...
