Activity budgets of southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, during the breeding season

Elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, of both sexes undergo a prolonged fast during the breeding season when they rely on their reserves of blubber for energy. Activity patterns were observed in order to investigate the partitioning of these limited resources and in particular the allocation of time to...
