Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest of all seals, elephant seals rank among the most impressive of marine mammals. They are renowned for their spectacular recovery from near-extinction at the end of the nineteenth century when seal hunters nearly eliminated the entire northern species. No other vertebrate has come so close to extinction and made such a complete recovery. The physiological extremes that elephant seals can tolerate are also remarkable: females fast for a month while lactating, and the largest breeding males fast for over one hundred days during the breeding seasons, at which times both sexes lose forty percent of their body weight. Elephant seals dive constantly during their long foraging migrations, spending more time under water than most whales and diving deeper and longer than any other marine mammal. This first book-length discussion of elephant seals brings together worldwide expertise from scientists who describe and debate recent research, including the history and status of various populations, their life-history tactics, and other findings obtained with the help of modern microcomputer diving instruments attached to free-ranging seals. Essential for all marine mammalogists for its information and its methodological innovations, Elephant Seals will also illuminate current debates about species extinctions and possible means of preventing them. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Book excerpt: Although the information about the abundance and the distribution of mid-trophic level organisms would have a great interest in the general context of ecological research and multi-species fisheries management, the sampling of mid-trophic level organisms is expensive and biase and such information is not avalaible. For the study of distribution, habitats and foraging ecology of top predators, MTL biomass would be a highly valuable explaining variable. In this context, the modelling of the spatial dynamics of MTL biomass appears to be a useful tool but the quality of predictions can't be easily evaluated. This study aimed at using bio-logging data of Southern elephant seals of the Kerguelen Island to evaluate some key aspects of the modelling approach of SEAPODYM micronekton model. The use of prey catch attempts counting (derived from accelerometry) allowed to validate : the use of the euphotic depth as a way to describe the vertical distribution of the micronekton, the choice of layer's definition and provided encouraging results relatively to the quantitative predictions of micronekton biomass. Then, the predictions of this model were used in parallel with two different proxies of the foraging activity of the Southern elephant seals to investigate the feeding behaviour in an environment charactyerized by th mesoscale activity.
