• Seasonal availability of abundant, energy-rich prey influences the abundance and diet of a marine predator, the Steller sea lion Eumetopias jubatus (2006, background): “The pattern of sea lion occupation was consistent among years, with sea lions typically absent during summer and early fall, usually between July and September.”
• The effects of prey availability on pup mortality and the timing of birth of South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) in Peru (2004, background): “Food availability, suitable weather, and environmental cues acting together or independently may be the primary factors that determine the timing of births and enhance the reproductive success of females (Ims, 1990; Boyd, 1991; Majluf, 1992; Lunn & Boyd, 1993b; Boness, Bowen & Iverson, 1995; Pitcher”
