Balancing macronutrient intake in a mammalian carnivore: disentangling the influences of flavour and nutrition [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
There is a large body of research demonstrating that macronutrient balancing is a primary driver of foraging in herbivores and omnivores, and more recently, it has been shown to occur in carnivores. However, the extent to which macronutrient selection in

Macronutrient composition of sea otter diet with respect to recolonization, life history, and season in southern Southeast Alaska

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) population of Southeast Alaska has been growing at a higher rate than other regions along the Pacific coast. While good for the recovery of this endangered species, rapid population growth of this apex predator can create a
