Brucella Antibodies in Alaskan True Seals and Eared Seals—Two Different Stories

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
Brucella pinnipedialis was first isolated from true seals in 1994 and from eared seals in 2008. Although few pathological findings have been associated with infection in true seals, reproductive pathology including abortions, and the isolation of the ...

Environmental Heterogeneity Predicts Behavioural Diversity in a Widely Distributed Group of Marine Carnivores

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Environmental heterogeneity shapes species diversity by creating ecological niches (habitat heterogeneity hypothesis). Yet its role in driving behavioural diversity within species remains only partially understood. Behavioural diversity enhances a population's ability to exploit ecological niches and adapt to environmental change, making ...

Population Trend and Elasticities of Vital Rates for Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Eastern Gulf of Alaska: A New Life-History Table Analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) numbers are beginning to recover across most of the western distinct population segment following catastrophic declines that began in the 1970s and ended around the turn of the century.

Capelin Size, Condition, and Abundance Through Multiple Heatwaves in Alaska

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 413-429, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Capelin (Mallotus spp.) are pelagic forage fishes that can be especially abundant in sub‐arctic marine ecosystems and are important prey for upper trophic‐level consumers. Abundance and distribution of capelin have been linked to ocean temperature, but the magnitude and directionality of thermal sensitivity can vary regionally.

Steller sea lion vital rates.

open access: yes, 2013
Survival and fertility vital rates by age of four Steller sea lion matrices. Vital rates are prior to adjustment for a stationary population and the fertility rates are prior to multiplication by survival rates to fill in the matrix fertility transitions.

Dental and Temporomandibular Joint Pathology of the Steller Sea Lion (Eumetopias jubatus)

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Pathology, 2022
Skulls from 112 Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) were examined according to predefined criteria. Of the specimens, 73 (65.2%) were from males, 29 (25.9%) from females and 10 (8.9%) were of unknown sex, with 50 adults (44.6%), 61 young adults (54.5%) and one of unknown age (0.9%). The number of teeth evaluated was 3,521.

Mixing it up in Alaska: Habitat use of adult female Steller sea lions reveals a variety of foraging strategies

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
From 2010 to 2015, satellite transmitters were deployed on 16 adult female Steller sea lions (AFSSLs; Eumetopias jubatus) in three regions of Alaska because there is limited information regarding the habitat use of this age class during winter and ...

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Wanted dead or alive: characterizing likelihood of juvenile Steller sea lion predation from diving and space use patterns

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2019
Understanding linkages between behaviors and mortality risk is critical for managing populations. Juveniles constitute a particularly vulnerable life stage, with growing evidence that within stages, individual strategies may be associated with greater ...
