• STUDYING TROPHIC ECOLOGY IN MARINE ECOSYSTEMS USING FATTY ACIDS: A PRIMER ON ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION (2006, background): “In contrast, in income breeders such as otariids, small odontocetes and small phocids that feed during lactation (e.g., the harbor seal [Phoca vitulina], Bowen et al. 2001), milk FA will either reflect those mobilized from body stores, those consumed on the most recent foraging trip or both.”
• Mass-dependent energetics and survival in Harbour Seal pups (2005, background): “The mechanisms leading to lower survival rates of pups in poorer than average condition at weaning are complex, but impeded feeding success owing to limited diving capacity and lower swimming speed can be important (Burns 1999; Horning & Trillmich 1999; Bowen et al. 2001).”
• Noninvasive unmanned aerial vehicle provides estimates of the energetic cost of reproduction in humpback whales (2016, background): “Although not documented for baleen whales, maternal body condition in other marine mammals, such as pinnipeds, influences offspring birth and weaning mass (Boltnev and York 2001, Bowen et al. 2001), which, in turn, influences offspring survival (McMahon et al. 2000).”
• Maternal and newborn life‐history traits during periods of contrasting population trends: implications for explaining the decline of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina), on Sable Island (2003, methodology): “Rate of mass gain (mass gained during lactation divided by the number of days between birth and weaning) and weaning mass were also measured on a subset of pups ( Bowen, Boness, Iverson et al., 2001 ).”
