Estimating the stock size of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) in the inland waters of Washington State using line-transect methods. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) in the inland waters of Washington were reduced by predator control programs in the twentieth century, but stocks have rebounded since being protected in the 1970s. Three management stocks are recognized, but there

Sex‐specific diet differences in harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) via spatial assortment [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The lack of recovery of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Pacific Northwest has been blamed in part on predation by pinnipeds, particularly the harbor seal (Phoca vitulina).

Rising competition among North Sea mammalian top predators: a multi-method perspective on trophic ecology [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Top predators are crucial in shaping ecosystem dynamics by regulating key processes such as prey populations, energy transfer, and community structure, particularly in systems where multiple species compete for the same resources.
