Estimating diet composition from scat analysis in otariid seals (Otariidae): is it reliable? [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1988
Analysis of teleost sagittal otoliths contained in scats has been widely used to determine the diet of seals. This method is based on the assumption that relative frequencies of otoliths in scats faithfully reflect those offish in the diet. This assumption has rarely been tested experimentally.

Establishment of a stable isotope database for New Zealand fur seal breeding colonies using δ13C and δ15N in pup vibrissae

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1164-1186, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The New Zealand fur seal/kekeno (Arctocephalus forsteri, NZFS) is native to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Its original range included the entire coast of mainland New Zealand, and offshore and subantarctic islands. The NZFS has gradually recolonised much of its former range after being almost extirpated by hunting, however, little is known about ...

Avian influenza overview September–November 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Between 6 September and 28 November 2025, 2896 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (442) and wild (2454) birds in 29 countries in Europe. The magnitude and geographical extent of these detections were unprecedented for this time of the year, particularly in wild birds.

Most mammals do not wander: few species escape continental endemism

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Terrestrial mammals are found nearly everywhere on Earth. Yet, most taxa are endemic to a single continent; geological, evolutionary, ecological, or physiological filters constrain geographic distributions. Here, we synthesize data on geography, taxonomy, lineage age, dispersal, body size, and diet for > 4000 terrestrial mammals prior to detectable ...

Avian influenza overview June–September 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Between 7 June and 5 September 2025, 183 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (27) and wild (156) birds across 15 countries in Europe. Although HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections were predominant in western and southwestern Europe, they also occurred on the northernmost coast of Norway. More than
