Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Investigating monitoring options for harbour seals in Special Areas of Conservation in Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Managing a wild population effectively requires knowledge of the abundance and behaviour of the species. Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) are usually counted when they come ashore at haul-out sites, and so it is important to understand how the number of ...

Netting and conventional tagging used to study movements of ringed seals (Phoca hispida) in Greenland

open access: yesNAMMCO Scientific Publications, 1998
Seven studies of netting and tagging of ringed seals (Phoca hispida) in Greenland 1976-1997 are described. The areas of operation were: northern part of the Upernavik area (Northwest Greenland), Kong Oscars Fjord (Northeast Greenland), and Avanersuaq ...

Different shape but the same topographical complexity—The lingual gross anatomy of the Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the distinctly different shapes of their tongues, the tongue gross anatomy of Saimaa ringed seal closely resembled that of Baltic ringed seal. There were no differences in the extrinsic and intrinsic tongue muscles or their associated vascularization and innervation between Saimaa and Baltic ringed seals.

Arthrobacter nasiphocae sp. nov., from the common seal (Phoca vitulina)

open access: yes, 2002
An unknown gram-positive, catalase-positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from the nasal cavities of two common seals. Chemical analysis revealed the presence in the bacterium of a hitherto unknown cell-wall murein [type: L-Lys-L ...
