The past and present status of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina Linn.) in Greater Antarctica Counts of southern elephant seals at the Vestfold Hills from 1958 to the present reveal that the population has declined by half to two thirds. The decline of this predominantly male, moult...
leading to the creation of strong gradients at submesoscale7. However, over the vast domain sampled by the seal, the mesoscale strain field is weak (apart in the standing meander and the cyclonic eddy), as inferred
Panel (b) represents the daily presence of each seal inside polynyas. The colour scale represents the two seasonal uses of the polynyas among seals with implications for both pre-polynyas (group 1; January–April) and polynyas (group 2; February–October). The map in panel (a) was made ...
In the highly dimorphic southern elephant seal, there are intersexual differences in habitat use; at Iles Kerguelen, males predominantly use shelf waters, while females use deeper oceanic waters. There are equally marked intrasexual differences, with some males using the nearby Kerguelen Plateau, and...
