Behavioural and morphometric measurements of parental investment in southern elephant seals at the Falkland Islands / Filippo Galimberti, Alessia Gallastroni, Simona Sanvito.
Title: | Behavioural and morphometric measurements of parental investment in southern elephant seals at the Falkland Islands / Filippo Galimberti, Alessia Gallastroni, Simona Sanvito. |
Author(s): | Galimberti, Filippo. Gallastroni, Alessia. Sanvito, Simona. |
Date: | 2002. |
In: | Polar Biology. (2002.), Vol. 25(6) (2002) |
Abstract: | Analyses relationship between observable suckling behaviour and true investment as estimated from weighing pups at birth and weaning, based on data collected from southern elephant seal colony at Sea Lion Island, Falkland Islands, during 1998 and 1999 breeding seasons. Discusses practical, logistical and ethical problems involved in handling and restraining procedures used during direct morphometric measurements of seals, and suggests improvements to handling protocol pending further research on alternatives to direct weighing. |
