Summing the strokes: energy economy in northern elephant seals during large-scale foraging migrations
BACKGROUND: The energy requirements of free-ranging marine mammals are challenging to measure due to cryptic and far-ranging feeding habits, but are important to quantify given the potential impacts of high-level predators on ecosystems. Given their large body size and carnivorous lifestyle, we woul...
