• Circumpolar habitat use in the southern elephant seal: implications for foraging success and population trajectories (2016, background): “Elephant seals dive almost continuously while at sea (McIntyre et al. 2010) and therefore provide valuable high- resolution information on the physical attributes of the water column where ever they travel (Costa et al. 2012).”
• Southern elephant seal foraging success in relation to temperature and light conditions: insight into prey distribution (2014, background): “While at sea, SES dive repeatedly to mesopelagic depths (300−500 m, up to 2000 m) and tend to follow the nycthemeral vertical migration of their mesopelagic prey, diving generally deeper during the day (Hindell et al. 1991, McIntyre et al. 2010).”
