Vocal identity and species recognition in male Australian sea lions,Neophoca cinerea [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2008
SUMMARYThe acoustic channel is important for communication in otariids (fur seals and sea lions). Discrimination between species, sex or individuals is essential in communication; therefore insight into the role of vocalisations in recognition is vital to understanding otariid social interactions.

Chemical Profiles of Integumentary and Glandular Substrates in Australian Sea Lion Pups (Neophoca cinerea)

Chemical Senses, 2019
Recognition of individuals or classes of individuals plays an important role in the communication systems of many mammals. The ability of otariid (i.e., fur seal and sea lion) females to locate and identify their offspring in colonies after returning from regular foraging trips is essential to successful pup rearing. It has been shown that olfaction is

Range-Wide Assessment of the Tasmanian Devil Gut Microbiome. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conducted a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiomes at 10 locations across Tasmania, utilizing molecular methods such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and diet metabarcoding to investigate the influences of diet, location, sex, and age. Contrary to the prevailing notion that diet is a main driver of gut microbiome differences, we found that ...

Evidence for a prolonged postimplantation period in the Australian sea lion ( Neophoca cinerea ) [PDF]

Reproduction, 1997
Abstract Concentrations of circulating progesterone and oestradiol were measured in 96 free-ranging, female Australian sea lions Neophoca cinerea from Kangaroo Island, South Australia. There was a marked increase in the concentrations of both hormones (progesterone from approximately 12 ng ml−1 to approximately 24 ng ml−1; oestradiol ...

Biological clocks as age estimation markers in animals: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 1972-2011, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of conservationists frequently relies upon the ability to assign animals to functionally relevant age classes to model population fitness.
