Seasonal survival and the relative cost of first reproduction in adult female southern elephant seals / Pierre A. Pistorius, Marthán N. Bester, Greg J.G. Hofmeyr, Stephen P. Kirkman, Frances E. Taylor.

Title: Seasonal survival and the relative cost of first reproduction in adult female southern elephant seals / Pierre A. Pistorius, Marthán N. Bester, Greg J.G. Hofmeyr, Stephen P. Kirkman, Frances E. Taylor.

Abstract: Uses seasonal mark-recapture data from Marion Island for 1986-99 to estimate relative contribution of postbreeding and postmolting mortality to shaping annual demographic schedule of female southern elephant seals, with particular reference to two pelagic phases in relation to reproductive experience. Mean postbreeding survival of 62 day pelagic period for primiparous females was 0.830 compared to 0.912 for more experienced females, whereas survival of postmolting pelagic phase of 255 days was 0.847 and was not dependent on reproductive experience. Postbreeding survival of primiparous females increased from 0.799 before 1994 to 0.880 from 1994 onwards, and postmolting survival of all females also increased from 0.817 to 0.872 over same period. Discusses results in relation to availability and consumption of fish and squid.
