Human activities continue to expand in marine and terrestrial environments, leading to increased interactions with wildlife that can have negative impacts on population dynamics …
Otariids exhibit a semiaquatic lifestyle, feeding in the water and breeding and resting on land. Fur seals and sea lions, the two groups of otariids, exhibit an overall income breeding …
Many marine mammal populations are recovering after long eras of exploitation. 1, 2 To what degree density-dependent body size declines in recovering species reflect a general …
Characterizing habitat suitability for a marine predator requires an understanding of the environmental heterogeneity and variability over the range in which a population moves …
The trophic behavior of marine predators varies according to the level of competition to which they are exposed. In general, populations that inhabit lower productivity systems face …
