• Multiple foraging strategies in a marine apex predator, the Galapagos sea lion Zalophus wollebaeki (2008, background): “Intraspecific competition resulting in the exploitation of different prey types and niche separation was found in the sea otter Enhydra lutris (Estes et al. 2003, Tinker et al. 2007).”
• Costs of carnivory: tooth fracture in Pleistocene and Recent carnivorans (2008, background): “Sea otters consume tough sea urchins, snails, crabs, and bivalves regularly and, although they are known to use rocks to crack shells, their tooth fracture rates suggest that they are using their teeth to process them as well (Kenyon, 1969; Tinker et al., 2007).”
