The global extent and severity of operational interactions between conflicting pinnipeds and fisheries [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRecent population recovery of many pinniped species (seals, sea lions, walrus) is a conservation success. However, pinniped population recovery combined with increasing global fisheries operations is leading to increased conflicts between pinnipeds and ...

Disentangling pinniped incidental mortality in a bottom-trawl fishery with seal exclusion devices
Frontiers in Marine ScienceSeal exclusion devices (SED) fitted in trawls are recognized as the best technical measure to mitigate pinniped bycatch, but do not completely eliminate incidental mortality.

Common and unique strategies of myoglobin evolution for deep-sea adaptation of diving mammals
iScience, 2021 Summary: Myoglobin (Mb) is highly concentrated in the myocytes of diving mammals such as whales and seals, in comparison with land animals, and its molecular evolution has played a crucial role in their deep-sea adaptation.

Amyloid β and tau pathology in brains of aged pinniped species (sea lion, seal, and walrus)
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) as senile plaques and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and hyperphosphorylated tau (hp-tau) as neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. The AD-related pathology has been reported in
