Using the Diet Composition of Adult Chinook Salmon to Understand the Regional Structure of Salish Sea Forage Communities

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 565-579, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish and other forage species are patchily distributed over space and time, resulting in variable foraging conditions experienced by their predators. The high‐resolution data necessary to understand the spatiotemporal structure of forage communities are challenging to collect with expensive fishery‐independent surveys, meaning ...

Balancing Aerobic and Anaerobic Metabolism, and Its Effect on Recovery Time in Freely‐Diving Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus)

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT As breath‐hold divers, marine mammals must coordinate their use of both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to maximize their time at depth. One indication of the relative reliance between these two energy‐producing systems is the aerobic dive limit (ADL), defined as the dive duration where post‐dive blood lactate concentrations surpass resting ...

Social associations between California sea lions influence the use of a novel foraging ground [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
Social relationships define an individual's position in its social network, which can influence the acquisition and spread of information and behavioural variants through the population. Thus, when nuisance behaviours spread through wildlife populations,

The Inside Waters of Vancouver Island Are Critical Foraging Habitat for West Coast Transient Killer Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT West Coast Transient (WCT) killer whales (Orcinus orca rectipinnus) hunt marine mammals along the west coast of North America from California to southeastern Alaska. However, little information is available on their seasonal use of nearshore areas and the relative importance of different parts of their range.

Clinical relevance of novel Otarine herpesvirus-3 in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus): lymphoma, esophageal ulcers, and strandings

open access: yesVeterinary 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 ...

The Influence of Territory Quality on Behavioral Activity, Mass Loss, and Tenure in Breeding Male Australian Fur Seals

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Territory quality is a key determinant of male reproductive success and an important driver of population dynamics in pinnipeds. In Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus; AUFS), males rely on pre‐breeding energy reserves to acquire and maintain territories, linking competitive ability to body size and condition.

A novel quantitative real-time PCR diagnostic assay for fecal and nasal swab detection of an otariid lungworm, Parafilaroides decorus

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Parafilaroides decorus, also known as sea lion lungworm, is a metastrongyloid nematode that infects otariid hosts, such as the charismatic California sea lion, Zalophus californianus. P. decorus causes bronchointerstitial pneumonia, respiratory distress,
