Variation of life-history strategies in pinnipeds with an emphasis on survival rates and spatial distribution of male Weddell seals in Erebus Bay, Antartica
This dissertation explores various components of male life-history theory using a species-specific approach focusing on Weddell seals (chapters 2 and 4) and a comparative approach focusing on pinniped (seal and sea lion) species (chapter 3). To better understand how marine mammal populations can fun...
