Description
Summary:We collected 25 years of demographic, foraging route, diving, and diet data from northern elephant seals ( Mirounga angustirostris ) to determine the influence of behavioral strategies and mass gain during 8-month foraging trips on reproduction, survival, and lifetime reproductive success. Users interested in publishing results with these data should consult the principal investigators to best understand details of the methods. Those PIs might request co-authorship on publications based largely on the data.
