Climate change is expected to dramatically alter the distribution of many marine megafauna,
impacting the people and economies that depend upon them. We build on the recent …

Growth of structural mass and energy reserves influences individual survival, reproductive
success, population and species life history. Metrics of structural growth and energy storage …

Recent pup population estimates of sympatric Subantarctic (Arctocephalus tropicalis) and
