- Variability in fatty acid composition of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) blubber as a function of body site, season, and reproductive state (2004, background): “Energy expended during reproduction, especially lactation, is very high, with heavy fat depletion occurring in the blubber of lactating females (Ackman et al. 1975b; Lockyer 1986; Beck et al. 2003).”

- Intraspecific variation in movement patterns: modeling individual behaviour in a large marine predator (2004, unknown): “We know from studies of the diving patterns of grey seals that the preferred foraging depth is 50 /100 m (Beck et al. 2003a).”
- Capital or income breeding? A theoretical model of female reproductive strategies (2007, background): “Although there have been a number of taxon-specific treatments of the behavior and physiology of various capital breeders (e.g., Festa-Bianchet et al. 1998; Bonnet et al. 1999; Beck, Bowen, Iverson 2003; Beck, Bowen, McMillan, Iverson 2003 ), there have been far fewer general attempts to examine th”
- Southern elephant seals from Kerguelen Islands confronted by Antarctic Sea ice. Changes in movements and in diving behaviour (2007, background): “Within adults, differences in metabolism have been 326 related to the costs of breeding (Boyd 2002; Beck et al., 2003), typically greater for females.”
- STUDYING TROPHIC ECOLOGY IN MARINE ECOSYSTEMS USING FATTY ACIDS: A PRIMER ON ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION (2006, background): “Thus, the large lipid stores present early in the breeding season will be most influenced by feeding in the prior 4–6 mo spent preparing for reproduction (e.g., Beck et al. 2003), with little contribution from feeding earlier in the year.”
- Trace elements in tissues of phocid seals harvested in the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic: influence of age and feeding ecology (2005, background): “Adult female seals exhibit higher feeding rates and greater energy content than males as a result of reproductive requirements (Beck et al. 2003).”
