Complete mitochondrial genome of the South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the South America fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) was obtained by a shotgun sequencing approach. The mitogenome is 16,372 bp in length and includes the genes coding for the two rRNA species (12S and 16S), 13 ...

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

New polymorphic microsatellite markers for California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) [PDF]
, 2005 Nine microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). In addition, two of five loci tested from harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) produced a single, clear band in Z. californianus, as did one out of five

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 ...
