Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Spring haul-out behavior of seals in the Bering and Chukchi Seas: implications for abundance estimation [PDF]

PeerJ
Ice-associated seals rely on sea ice for a variety of activities, including pupping, breeding, molting, and resting. In the Arctic, many of these activities occur in spring (April through June) as sea ice begins to melt and retreat northward.

Identifying highly used Dungeness crab fleet fishing areas off central and northern California to inform entanglement risks of large whales

California Fish and Wildlife Journal
Large whales seasonally aggregate into highly productive areas to feed, which often overlap with regions popular for various fishing activities. This spatial and temporal overlap can lead to whale entanglements in fishing gear. Along the California coast,

Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Emaciation Syndrome in Plectropomus leopardus: Insights From Histology and Transcriptomics

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Integrated phenotypic, histological, transcriptomic, and validation analyses reveal that emaciation syndrome in Plectropomus leopardus is associated with intestinal structural damage, hepatic metabolic remodeling, and muscle protein degradation, highlighting coordinated multi‐tissue alterations underlying disease progression.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
