Element concentrations in tissues reveal spatial structure of Atlantic walrus management stocks

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Differences in tissue element concentrations confirm geographic differentiation between 2 of Canada's walrus management stocks but reveal additional spatial structure within the largest stock that may have management implications. Abstract Ensuring harvested animal populations are managed at appropriate scales requires an understanding of underlying ...

COPIS: A robust and versatile robotic imaging system for the 3D digitization of natural history specimens with photogrammetry

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1617-1627, May 2026.
Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly turning to 3D models to use in scientific research. Natural history museums are one of the primary sources for specimens used as 3D models, and efforts are underway to digitize their collections using methods like photogrammetry.

Genome-Wide Loss of Diversity in the Critically Endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal

open access: yesDiversity, 2010
Threatened species often exhibit low genetic diversity as a result of selective sweeps, historical bottlenecks, or persistent small population size. Whereas selective sweeps create localized reduction of variation at a chromosome, population bottlenecks ...

New polymorphic microsatellite markers for California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Nine microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). In addition, two of five loci tested from harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) produced a single, clear band in Z. californianus, as did one out of five

Respiration and Heart Rate at the Surface between Dives in Northern Elephant Seals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
All underwater activities of diving mammals are constrained by the need for surface gas exchange. Our aim was to measure respiratory rate (fb) and heart rate (fh) at the surface between dives in free-ranging northern elephant seals Mirounga ...
