Sex differences in the seasonal patterns of energy storage and expenditure in a phocid seal (2003, background): “Thus, state-dependent analysis of life-history strategies may provide more insight into how individuals balance reproduction with other vital activities and the consequences of this balancing on fitness (McNamara & Houston 1996; Boyd 2000).”
Adult female survival, population trend, and the implications of early primiparity in a capital breeder, the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) (2004, background): “We argue that mass, and hence condition, is likely to be the most important variable influencing the age of primiparity in a capital breeder such as southern elephant seals (Laws, 1956a,b; Boyd, 2000), and that no delay in reproduction takes place once the critical breeding mass has been achieved.”
Quantifying the effects of prey abundance on killer whale reproduction (2009, background): “The ability to buffer the effects of years with low prey abundance has been shown in pinniped species (Boyd 2000); however, the degree to which killer whale reproduction might be affected by normal year-to-year variation remains unclear.”
Impacts of climatic anomalies on provisioning strategies of a Southern Ocean predator (2006, background): “Consequently they may be less well buffered against environmental variability than their larger counterparts, phocid seals (Boyd 2000), which separate feeding and breeding.”
HOW DO MAGELLANIC PENGUINS COPE WITH VARIABILITY IN THEIR ACCESS TO PREY (2005, background): “Capital breeders, such as elephant seals, do not engage in foraging trips during the weaning period, relying exclusively on fat stores accumulated during the extensive ‘‘nonbreeding’’ season, to provision their young (Boyd 2000, McMahon and Hindell 2003).”
