Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa [PDF]
, 2017 ecause empirical studies of animal movement are most-often site- and species-specific, we lack understanding of the level of consistency in movement patterns across diverse taxa, as well as a framework for quantitatively classifying movement patterns. We

Rare Record of Albinism in a New Zealand Fur Seal (<i>Arctocephalus forsteri</i>) Pup With Observations Through the Weaning Period. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis article provides the first known scientific record of albinism in a New Zealand fur seal pup. We describe the individual with a particular focus on its sensory abilities. This individual's birth at a central mainland colony may permit continued study throughout his life, unlike many records of similar conditions in other species.
