Complete Mitochondrial Genomes Recovered From Environmental Metagenomics Samples Can Facilitate Non‐Intrusive Population Genetic/Genomics Studies in the South American Sea Lion Otaria byronia

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Mitochondrial genomes assembled from environmental non‐intrusive fecal DNA to support non‐intrusive biomonitoring in the Southern Sea Lion Otaria byronia. Photograph by Nestor Galina, used with permission. ABSTRACT The abundance of many marine mammals is declining due to local, regional, and global climate stressors that characterize the Anthropocene ...

Intraspecific variation in prey quality affects the consumption rates of top predators

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 65-83, January 2026.
This study reveals overlooked intraspecific variation in prey quality and its influence on predator energy budgets. By identifying key ecological drivers, we emphasize the need to integrate such variability into bioenergetic models to improve predictions of predator foraging and ecosystem responses to environmental change.

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,

Mystery of the Disappearing Dogfish: Transboundary Analyses Reveal Steep Population Declines Across the Northeast Pacific With Little Evidence for Regional Redistribution

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 1-12, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Quantifying broad‐scale population trends and distribution change is critical for effective management and conservation of marine species, particularly under climate change. However, fragmented regional survey data often hinder such efforts for transboundary populations. A prime example is Pacific Spiny Dogfish (Squalus suckleyi, Squalidae), a

Estudio de enriquecimiento nutricional de dos especies de Leones marinos (Otaria flavescens y Zalophus californianus) en Aquanatura (Benidorm) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
El enriquecimiento ambiental es un método de reducir el estrés y los comportamientos inadecuados de animales en cautiverio, ayudando a su vez a aumentar el bienestar de estos. En este trabajo se pretende realizar un estudio de enriquecimiento nutricional
