Optimal diving models have been developed to investigate how air‐breathing predators should adjust their diving behaviour to optimize their foraging efficiency. Using time‐depth recorders and 3D accelerometers, we addressed this question on six free‐ranging Southern Elephant Seal (SES) females equipped on Kerguelen Island.
We hypothesize that seals would initially increase their foraging time...
Individual specialisation is widespread and can affect a population’s ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Whether intra-specific niche differences can influence reproductive investment was examined in a marine mammal, the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina), whose females were known to forage in two different areas during the austral winter. The study was conducted at Kerguelen Islands (49°21′S,...
