Epigenetic approaches for estimating the age of living organisms are revolutionizing studies
of long‐lived species. Molecular biomarkers that allow age estimates from small tissue …

Understanding the population health status of long‐lived and slow‐reproducing species is
critical for their management. However, it can take decades with traditional monitoring …

Numbers of Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus in the North Pacific have declined.
According to the nutritional stress hypothesis, this decline is due to reduced food availability …

Populations of sea otters, seals and sea lions have collapsed across much of southwest
Alaska over the past several decades. The sea otter decline set off a trophic cascade in …

Total mercury concentrations ([THg]) measured in western Aleutian Island Steller sea lion
pup hair were the highest maximum [THg] documented in this endangered species to date …

We hypothesized that:(1) Steller sea lion Eumetopias jubatus diet choice is a function of prey
availability,(2) sea lions move to take advantage of times and locations of seasonal prey …

(DPSs) of Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) increased in overall abundance in Alaska
between 2000 and 2012. Counts of both non-pups (adults and juveniles) and pups during …

Most mammalian populations suffer from natural or human-induced disturbances;
populations are no longer at the equilibrium (ie, at stable [st] age distribution) and exhibit …

We conducted a mark‐recapture study of California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) using
pups branded on San Miguel Island, California, from 1987 to 2014, and annual resightings …

African lions (Panthera leo) are declining continent‐wide, with protected area populations
subject to a variety of anthropogenic effects. Zambia contains viable lion populations of …
