Lack of association between magnetic patterns and the distribution of free-ranging dolphins Lack of association between magnetic patterns and the distribution of free-ranging dolphins
While free-ranging dolphins (Delphinus sp.) have been shown to be associated with bottom topography (depth contours of the sea floor), stranded dolphins have been shown to be associated with magnetic topography. Association with magnetic patterns that may be useful for orientation and navigation by free-ranging dolphins has not been demonstrated. Evaluation of the same 140 locations of...

History and present status of the northern elephant seal population History and present status of the northern elephant seal population

A small, residual breeding colony survived, however, and with legal protection from further hunting, it grew rapidly through the early 1900s. Immigrants steadily colonized other island and mainland sites in Baja...

Atypical interactions between male southern sea otters and pinnipeds Atypical interactions between male southern sea otters and pinnipeds
Here we describe unusual interspecific interactions between two male southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris neries) and pinnipeds. These two sea otters were among 30 male and 110 female otters translocated from central California to San Nicolas Island (SNI, 33”15’N, 119”3O’W), one of the California Channel Islands. Each otter was uniquely marked with two plastic colored tags before release...
