Human impacts on Australian sea lions, Neophoca cinerea, hauled out on Carnac Island (Perth, Western Australia): implications for wildlife and tourism management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Over the last 15 years, pinniped tourism has experienced a rapid growth in the Southern Hemisphere, and particularly in Australia and New Zealand where at least four sites attract more than 100,000 visitors per year. Tourism focused on the Australian sea

Environmental Heterogeneity Predicts Behavioural Diversity in a Widely Distributed Group of Marine Carnivores

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Environmental heterogeneity shapes species diversity by creating ecological niches (habitat heterogeneity hypothesis). Yet its role in driving behavioural diversity within species remains only partially understood. Behavioural diversity enhances a population's ability to exploit ecological niches and adapt to environmental change, making ...

Modelling the effect of varying metabolic rate and cardiac output on estimated tissue and blood O2 and CO2 levels in an extreme deep‐diver, the goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris)

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 765-785, 1 March 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution movement data from Cuvier's beaked, or goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris, hereafter Ziphius, n = 8) tag deployments (4.1–19.2 days) were used to estimate blood and tissue O2 and CO2 levels. Acceleration and magnetometry data were used to estimate the locomotion cost (LC) from the relationship between activity and the O2 ...

Fungicide-driven evolution and molecular basis of multidrug resistance in field populations of the grey mould fungus Botrytis cinerea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The grey mould fungus Botrytis cinerea causes losses of commercially important fruits, vegetables and ornamentals worldwide. Fungicide treatments are effective for disease control, but bear the risk of resistance development.

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes Recovered From Environmental Metagenomics Samples Can Facilitate Non‐Intrusive Population Genetic/Genomics Studies in the South American Sea Lion Otaria byronia

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Mitochondrial genomes assembled from environmental non‐intrusive fecal DNA to support non‐intrusive biomonitoring in the Southern Sea Lion Otaria byronia. Photograph by Nestor Galina, used with permission. ABSTRACT The abundance of many marine mammals is declining due to local, regional, and global climate stressors that characterize the Anthropocene ...

Comparative ecology of Escherichia coli in endangered Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) pups

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018
The dissemination of human-associated bacteria into the marine environment has the potential to expose wildlife populations to atypical microbes that can alter the composition of the gut microbiome or act as pathogens. The objective of the study was to determine whether endangered Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) pups from two South Australian ...

First Comprehensive Study of Telomere Length Measured by Southern Blot Hybridization and Oxidative Stress Across 12 Captive Marine Mammal Species

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Telomeres, repetitive nucleotide sequences at chromosome ends, shorten with oxidative damage and cell replication, and are increasingly used as biomarkers of stress and physiological state. Despite this potential, telomere length (TL) in marine mammals has been measured using Southern blot hybridization in only a few cases, often from ...

Arabidopsis defense against Botrytis cinerea : chronology and regulation deciphered by high-resolution temporal transcriptomic analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Transcriptional reprogramming forms a major part of a plant’s response to pathogen infection. Many individual components and pathways operating during plant defense have been identified, but our knowledge of how these different components interact is ...

Using sea lion-borne video to map diverse benthic habitats in southern Australia

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Across the world’s oceans, our knowledge of the habitats on the seabed is limited. Increasingly, video/imagery data from remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) and towed and drop cameras, deployed from vessels, are providing critical new ...
