Abstract The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) is a flagship species for
marine conservation, but important aspects of its life history remain unknown. Concerns over …

Recruitment age plays a key role in life‐history evolution. Because individuals allocate
limited resources among competing life‐history functions, theory predicts trade‐offs between …

Marine animals such as the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) rely on a productive
marine environment and are vulnerable to oceanic changes that can affect their …

Southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina numbers declined precipitously throughout most
of their circumpolar distribution since the 1950s. A long-term intensive demographic …

Understanding observed patterns of connectivity requires an understanding of the
