Reduced survival of Steller sea lions in the Gulf of Alaska following marine heatwave
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The North Pacific marine heatwave of 2014–2016 (PMH), one of the most geographically-extensive and severe marine heatwaves on record, resulted in widespread and persistent perturbation of the Gulf of Alaska and California Current ecosystems.

A global cline in a colour polymorphism suggests a limited contribution of gene flow towards the recovery of a heavily exploited marine mammal [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Evaluating how populations are connected by migration is important for understanding species resilience because gene flow can facilitate recovery from demographic declines.

Population structure and historical demography of South American sea lions provide insights into the catastrophic decline of a marine mammal population [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Understanding the causes of population decline is crucial for conservation management. We therefore used genetic analysis both to provide baseline data on population structure and to evaluate hypotheses for the catastrophic decline of the South American ...
