Images as proximity sensors : the incidence of conspecific foraging in Antarctic fur seals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Although there have been recent advances in the development of animal-attached ‘proximity’ tags to remotely record the interactions of multiple individuals, the efficacy of these devices depends on the instrumentation of sufficient animals ...

Assessing grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) diet in western Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Grey seal diet was last comprehensively studied in western Scotland in 1985. Since then, the grey seal population has increased by approximately 30% and relative abundance of fish stocks in the area has changed markedly.

Practical Application of a Bioenergetic Model to Inform Management of a Declining Fur Seal Population and Their Commercially Important Prey

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Food availability is a key concern for the conservation of marine top predators, particularly during a time when they face a rapidly changing environment and continued pressure from commercial fishing activities.

Inflation and deflation pressure-volume loops in anesthetized pinnipeds confirms compliant chest and lungs

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
We examined structural properties of the marine mammal respiratory system, and tested Scholander’s hypothesis that the chest is highly compliant by measuring the mechanical properties of the respiratory system in five species of pinniped under anesthesia

Fragmented mitochondrial genomes of seal lice (family Echinophthiriidae) and gorilla louse (family Pthiridae): frequent minichromosomal splits and a host switch of lice between seals

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2022
Background The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of 15 species of sucking lice from seven families have been studied to date. These louse species have highly dynamic, fragmented mt genomes that differ in the number of minichromosomes, the gene content, and gene
