No evidence of metabolic depression in Western Alaskan juvenile Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) populations have undergone precipitous declines through their western Alaskan range over the last four decades with the leading hypothesis to explain this decline centering around changing prey quality, quantity, or ...

Sea Lion Optimization Algorithm [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2019 This paper suggests a new nature inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm which is called Sea Lion Optimization (SLnO) algorithm. The SLnO algorithm imitates the hunting behavior of sea lions in nature. Moreover, it is inspired by sea lions' whiskers that are used in order to detect the prey.
