Modelling southern elephant seals Mirounga leonina using an individual-based model coupled with a dynamic energy budget.
Higher trophic-level species are an integral component of any marine ecosystem. Despite their importance, methods for representing these species in end-to-end ecosystem models often have limited representation of life histories, energetics and behaviour. We built an individual-based model coupled wi...
