New polymorphic microsatellite markers for California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Notes, 2005 Nine microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). In addition, two of five loci tested from harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) produced a single, clear band in Z. californianus, as did one out of five

Ectopic Pregnancy in a California sea lion (Zalophus californianus)
Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2016 Ectopic pregnancies have been rarely reported in animals and little is known in wildlife species regarding the capacity of the placenta to support extrauterine fetal development. An adult, female, free-ranging California sea lion (Zalophus californianus)

Cryptococcus albidus infection in a California sea lion (Zalophus californianus). [PDF]
J Wildl Dis, 2012 Sporadic cases of cryptococcosis have been reported in marine mammals, typically due to Cryptococcus neoformans and, more recently, to Cryptococcus gattii in cetaceans. Cryptococcus albidus, a ubiquitous fungal species not typically considered to be pathogenic, was recovered from a juvenile California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) rescued near San ...

The cost of male aggression and polygyny in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 In polygynous mating systems, males often increase their fecundity via aggressive defense of mates and/or resources necessary for successful mating. Here we show that both male and female reproductive behavior during the breeding season (June-August ...

Clinical relevance of novel Otarine herpesvirus-3 in California sea lions (
Veterinary Research, 2012 Herpesviruses have been recognized in marine mammals, but their clinical relevance is not always easy to assess. A novel otarine herpesvirus-3 (OtHV3) was detected in a geriatric California sea lion (Zalophus californianus), and using a newly developed ...

Human disturbance influences reproductive success and growth rate in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The environment is currently undergoing changes at both global (e.g., climate change) and local (e.g., tourism, pollution, habitat modification) scales that have the capacity to affect the viability of animal and plant populations. Many of these changes,
