Circumpolar habitat use in the southern elephant seal: implications for foraging success and population trajectories (2016, background): “…of the inter- frontal regions of the Southern Ocean have been reported for a number of predators, including elephant seals (Campagna et al. 2006, Dragon et al. 2010, McIntyre et al. 2011a), Antarctic fur seals (Lea and Dubroca 2003, Staniland et al. 2012), and king penguins (Trathan et al.…”
Movements and habitat use of reef manta rays off eastern Australia: offshore excursions, deep diving and eddy affinity revealed by satellite telemetry (2014, result): “…and corroborate several other studies that showed the importance of mesoscale eddies as offshore foraging grounds for a variety of marine species (e.g. seabirds: Weimers - kirch et al. 2004, Cotté et al. 2007; pinnipeds: Bailleul et al. 2010, Dragon et al. 2010; cetaceans: Woodworth et al. 2012).”
Southern elephant seal foraging success in relation to temperature and light conditions: insight into prey distribution (2014, background): “…SES from the Kerguelen Island population forage mainly in pelagic waters but also to a lesser extent on the Kerguelen and Antarctic continental shelves (i.e. the main foraging habitat of Kerguelen Island sub-adult and adult males; Bailleul et al. 2010, Dragon et al. 2010, Authier et al. 2012).”
