Intraguild predation in sympatric seals and the effect on a declining population [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2572-2583, December 2025.This study examined the prevalence, spatial extent, and temporal trends of grey seal intraguild predation (IGP). We demonstrated the utility of integrating disparate datasets to address conservation challenges and highlighted how IGP, while seemingly rare, can hold sympatric species in a predator‐pit and in small populations may contribute to declines.

Steller sea lion diet in the Eastern Kamchatka
Trudy VNIRO, 2021 We studied the diet of Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) on the eastern coast of Kamchatka based on the remains of undigested food parts found in feces at terrestrial sites near Cape Kozlova (rookery) and Cape Kekurny (haulout) in the summer. A total of 276 fecal samples were analyzed from 2004 to 2008.
