Despite global declines in the abundance of marine predators, knowledge of foraging
ecology, necessary to predict the ecological consequences of large changes in marine …

Individual specialization, which describes whether populations are comprised of dietary
generalists or specialists, has profound ecological and evolutionary implications. However …

Considerable uncertainties often surround the causes of long‐term changes in population
abundance. One striking example is the precipitous decline of southern sea lions (SSL; …

While sexual segregation is expected in highly dimorphic species, the local environment is a
major factor driving the degree of resource partitioning within a population. Sexual and …

Interactions between seals and commercial fisheries can pose a significant threat to the
conservation status of seal populations. In the Falkland Islands, home to over 50% of the …

Chronic stress can have detrimental effects on an individual's health and reproductive
success. The use of cortisol quantification as an indicator of stress in free-ranging cetaceans …

Context Predation by feral cats is a key threatening process to many species of native
Australian wildlife. Unfortunately, cats are difficult to capture using standard trapping …

Pinnipeds spend large portions of their lives at sea, submerged, or hauled-out on land, often
on remote off-shore islands. This fundamentally limits access by researchers to critical parts …

Sexual segregation in habitat use is widely reported in many taxa and can profoundly
influence the distribution and behaviour of animals. However, our knowledge of the …

Bio-logging is a common method to collect ecological data on wild animals, but might also
induce stress, reduce body condition, and alter behavior. Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) …
