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: 10.1007/978-1-4939-6990-6_14
Abstract: Microsatellite DNA can provide more detailed population genetic information than mitochondrial DNA which is normally used to research ancient bone. The methods detailed in this chapter can be utilized for any type of bone. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abl6496
Abstract: Steller’s sea cow, an extinct sirenian and one of the largest Quaternary mammals, was described by Georg Steller in 1741 and eradicated by humans within 27 years. Here, we complement Steller’s descriptions with paleogenomic data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1638/2017-0072r.1
Abstract: Abstract Decreased health may have lowered the birth and survival rates of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands over the past 30 yr. Reference ranges for clinical hematology… read more here.

DOI: 10.1638/2020-0054
Abstract: Abstract: Pinniped hearts have been well described via dissection, but in vivo measurements of cardiac structure, function, and electrophysiology are lacking. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded under anesthesia from eight Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus), five… read more here.

Wanted dead or alive: characterizing likelihood of juvenile Steller sea lion predation from diving and space use patterns
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Endangered Species Research"
DOI: 10.3354/esr00999
Abstract: Understanding linkages between behaviors and mortality risk is critical for managing populations. Juveniles constitute a particularly vulnerable life stage, with growing evidence that within stages, individual strategies may be associated with greater predation risk and… read more here.
