Diet and heavy metal uptake by two top predator species in the Tees Estuary [PDF]
, 2006 The key aim of the thesis was to estimate metal uptake and its seasonal variation from the diet by two predators from the Tees Estuary, harbour seals, Phoca vitulina and cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Drones are useful for wildlife research and management, but they can cause disturbance and harassment to wildlife. Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are candidates for drone‐based observation and monitoring but are vulnerable to disturbance. No studies have evaluated drone effects on sea otter behavior, but based on prior disturbance studies, we ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Seal haulout behavior is of interest in relation to energetics and abundance estimation. To assess year‐round and diel haulout patterns and estimate correction factors, data were obtained from 100 seals (66 harbor and 34 gray seals) tagged with satellite transmitters in Kattegat and the western Baltic Sea during 2004–2017.
