Tracing early stages of species differentiation: Ecological, morphological and genetic divergence of Galapagos sea lion populations [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Oceans are high gene flow environments that are traditionally believed to hamper the build-up of genetic divergence. Despite this, divergence appears to occur occasionally at surprisingly small scales.

Cloning and Characterization of Glutamate Receptors in Californian Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus)

Marine Drugs, 2010
Domoic acid produced by marine algae has been shown to cause acute and chronic neurologic sequelae in Californian sea lions following acute or low-dose exposure.

Input of particulate heavy metals from rivers and associated sedimentary deposits on the Gulf of Lion continental shelf [PDF]

, 2008
Fluxes of the heavy metals chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) delivered by rivers to the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean Sea) were estimated over a three year study of the River Rhone and its ...

Ecological regionalization of Zalophus californianus rookeries, as a tool for conservation in the Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 2011
California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) rookeries in the Gulf of California are structured genetically in distinct groups. Despite this evidence for regional differentiation, the sea lion population of the Gulf of California is managed as a single ...

The Mind of a Sea Lion

, 2021
The mind of a sea lion links sensory information gathered from the surrounding environment to the decision operations, or cognitive processes, that enable behavioral responses based on judgement and experience. Here, we illustrate the sea lion’s impressive capabilities for complex associative learning and highlight some of the unique and essential ...

The curious case of the missing face: Death of California sea lion by Dungeness crab trap

International Journal of Aquatic Biology, 2018
Marine mammals frequently interact with human detritus due to their proximity to shores and shared target foods. Sea lions have been known to attempt to obtain bait inside crab traps.

Past exploitation of California sea lions did not lead to a genetic bottleneck in the Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 2010
Human exploitation can lead to genetic bottlenecks associated with reduced genetic variability and lower fitness. The population of California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) in the Gulf of California, Mexico, was hunted during the 19th and 20th ...

Food limitation of sea lion pups and the decline of forage off central and southern California [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
California sea lions increased from approximately 50 000 to 340 000 animals in the last 40 years, and their pups are starving and stranding on beaches in southern California, raising questions about the adequacy of their food supply.
