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 ...

Assessment of Competition between Fisheries and Steller Sea Lions in Alaska Based on Estimated Prey Biomass, Fisheries Removals and Predator Foraging Behaviour. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A leading hypothesis to explain the dramatic decline of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in western Alaska during the latter part of the 20th century is a change in prey availability due to commercial fisheries.

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.

Age‐specific reproduction in female Steller sea lions in Southeast Alaska
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Age‐, region‐, and year‐specific estimates of reproduction are needed for monitoring wildlife populations during periods of ecosystem change. Population dynamics of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in Southeast Alaska varied regionally (with high ...
