Individual variation in pup vocalizations and absence of behavioral signs of maternal vocal recognition in Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) [PDF]

, 2012
Individually stereotyped vocalizations often play an important role in relocation of offspring in gregarious breeders. In phocids, mothers often alternate between foraging at sea and attending their pup.

Note on the occurrence of the crebeater seal, Lobodon carcinophagus (Hombron & Jacquinot, 1842) (Mammalia: Pinnipedia), in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil [PDF]

Biotemas, 2005
On May 12, 2003, a crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus) was seen 3km upstream of the mouth of the Cação River (22º54’S; 43º50’W), southern Rio de Janeiro State. It was a female of 212cm in length, weighing approximately 180kg. A week prior (May 5), the

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Acoustic Analysis for Noninvasive Marine Mammal Response: An Exploratory Field Study

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace, 2021
As in countless other fields of human endeavor, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have the potential to benefit pinniped (Pinnipedia; e.g., Phocidae [seals], Otariidae [sea lions], and Odobenidae [walruses]) response efforts.

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

The 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.

Scat DNA Applications for Low‐Density Carnivore Survey: Techniques, Efficiency and Future Directions

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed 338 studies encompassing mostly Felidae, Canidae and Mustelidae species throughout the world, confirming scat DNA as a reliable genetic source for many applications. The findings here offer guidance for future studies on low‐density carnivores, helping to design cost‐effective research and improving data quality for conservation efforts ...
