Southern Elephant Seals Replenish Their Lipid Reserves at Different Rates According to Foraging Habitat.
Assessing energy gain and expenditure in free ranging marine predators is difficult. However, such measurements are critical if we are to understand how variation in foraging efficiency, and in turn individual body condition, is impacted by environmentally driven changes in prey abundance and/or acc...
