Zooarchaeological and Stable Isotopic Assessments on Pinniped-Human Relations in the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego, Southern South America) [PDF]
, 2013 Recent zooarchaeological investigations in the Beagle Channel region have shown long-term variations characterised by a high inter-taxonomic dominance of pinnipeds during the first moments of the archaeological sequence (ca 6400 bp) at the Túnel Locality

Salmonella entericain Pinnipeds, Chile
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 To the Editor: Several wildlife-associated zoonotic agents have played a major role in the emergence of diseases in humans (1). However, diseases can also emerge in wildlife as a result of human activities, such as contamination of the marine environment and its fauna by the disposal of nontreated human sewage.
