• Early life stages in the life cycle of Antarctic silverfish, Pleuragramma antarcticum in Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea (2004, background): “…high numbers, P. antarcticum forms a major part of the diet of most large Antarctic vertebrates such as whales (Andriashev 1965), elephant seals (Daneri & Carlini 2002), fur seals (Casaux et al. 2003) and Weddell seals (Burns et al. 1998, Fuiman et al. 2002); in winter, it is even consumed by…”
• Dispersal of female southern elephant seals and their prey consumption during the austral summer: relevance to management and oceanographic zones (2003, background): “Estimates are derived almost solely from small samples of stomach contents collected at the terrestrial haul-out sites (Rodhouse et al. 1992; Green & Burton 1993; Slip 1995; Daneri & Carlini 2002).”
• Age-related shifts in the diet composition of southern elephant seals expand overall foraging niche (2007, background): “the presence of prey with larger hard parts due to differential digestive rates (Daneri and Carlini 2002).”
• Population status, trends and a re-examination of the hypotheses explaining the recent declines of the southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina (2005, background): “…fish and squid taxa have been identified with notable differences in diet composition at the different island locations (Green & Burton, 1993; Slip et al ., 1995; Daneri, Carlini & Rodhouse, 2000; Daneri & Carlini, 2002; Piatkowski, Vergani & Stanganelli, 2002; van den Hoff, Burton & Davies, 2003).”
• Stable isotopes reveal the trophic position and mesopelagic fish diet of female southern elephant seals breeding on the Kerguelen Islands (2008, background): “…fish identified from stomach contents of elephant seals, but, owing to their small size, they amounted to a low biomass and were sometimes con- 244 Cherel et al.: Southern elephant seal feeding habits sidered as secondary prey of squid (Slip 1995, Daneri & Carlini 2002, Field et al. 2007).”
• Southern elephant seal foraging success in relation to temperature and light conditions: insight into prey distribution (2014, background): “Indeed, mycto phid (the abundant Electrona antarctica, E. carls bergi and Gymnoscopelus nicholsi) otoliths have been found in stomachs of SES from the Kerguelen sector (Slip 1995) and elsewhere (Daneri & Carlini 2002).”
