DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6878
Abstract: Abstract The duration of offspring care is critical to female fitness and population resilience by allowing flexibility in life‐history strategies in a variable environment. Yet, for many mammals capable of extended periods of maternal care,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-019-01286-x
Abstract: Pinnipeds are aquatic predators feeding on a vast range of prey, and their social behaviour differs greatly between species (from extreme polygyny in some sea lions to monogamy in some true seals). It has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.8b00416
Abstract: Urinary markers for the assessment of kidney diseases in wild animals are limited, in part, due to the lack of urinary proteome data, especially for marine mammals. One of the most prevalent kidney diseases in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coz010
Abstract: Ocean warming events, such as the recent 2015 El Niño in the California current ecosystem, and demanding life stages, such as reproduction, can cause chronic stress in sea lions. We demonstrate that stress hormones are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mms.12388
Abstract: Despite the widespread use of inhalational anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation in many studies of otariid pinnipeds, the effects and risks of anesthetic-induced respiratory depression on blood gas and pH regulation are unknown in these animals.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mms.12605
Abstract: Age determination from counts of growth layer groups (GLGs) in tooth dentine is a common method for aging marine mammals. Using known-aged animals, we validated this method for acid etched teeth of California sea lions… read more here.
