Migrations of juvenile southern elephant seals from Macquarie Island ...
I analysed tag resight and at-sea location data collected for juvenile (> 1 - 3 year-old) southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) from Macquarie Island to establish these particular objectives: 1. Identifying regions where the seals disperse to and/or migrate between. 2. Establishing a spatial...
