Patterns of the fecal microbiota in the Juan Fernández fur seal (Arctocephalus philippii)
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 As apex predators, pinnipeds are considered to be useful bioindicators of marine and coastal environments. Endemic to a small archipelago in the South Pacific, the Juan Fernandez fur seal (JFFS) is one of the less‐studied members of the pinniped family ...

Comparative Study of the Gut Microbiota Among Four Different Marine Mammals in an Aquarium
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Despite an increasing appreciation in the importance of host–microbe interactions in ecological and evolutionary processes, information on the gut microbial communities of some marine mammals is still lacking. Moreover, whether diet, environment, or host

Phylogeny and divergence of the pinnipeds (Carnivora: Mammalia) assessed using a multigene dataset
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Phylogenetic comparative methods are often improved by complete phylogenies with meaningful branch lengths (e.g., divergence dates). This study presents a dated molecular supertree for all 34 world pinniped species derived from a weighted ...
