Marine biologists at the University of California Santa Cruz have tagged thousands of northern elephant seals with smart sensors that can measure anything from physical environmental ...

In particular, the northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) serves as an excellent model organism to explore these connections, as their population growth is closely linked to variations in ...

Elephant seals are the largest members of the pinniped family, which also includes seals, sea lions, and walruses. There are two species: the northern elephant seal and the southern elephant seal.

For six decades, marine biologists at UC Santa Cruz have closely monitored northern elephant seals that make their way to Año Nuevo Natural Reserve. With thousands of seals gathering on the beach for ...

Marine biologists at the University of California Santa Cruz have tagged thousands of northern elephant seals with smart sensors that can measure anything from physical environmental characteristics - ...

Northern elephant seals serve as effective "smart sensors" for monitoring fish populations in the ocean's twilight zone, a region between 200 and 1,000 meters deep.

Seals Dive Deep to Collect Crucial Data Marine biologists have attached smart sensors to thousands of northern elephant seals. These devices gather vital data, such as water temperature ...

But it works for them. Northern elephant seal numbers are slowly yet steadily improving, both at Point Reyes and throughout their range, which spans from southern Alaska to Baja California.

A rare visitor made waves on Eersterivierstrand when a Southern elephant seal emerged from the ocean to moult — a process that left onlookers stunned. Southern elephant seals are rarely seen in South ...

Elephant seals are being used as nature's artificial intelligence to monitor the health of the oceans -- especially the little-known "twilight zone," an ecosystem abundant with fish that could ...

A new study by marine biologists reports that seals can essentially act as 'smart sensors' for monitoring fish populations in the ocean's eerily dim 'twilight zone.' Over the past 60 years, marine ...

Marine biologists at UC Santa Cruz have discovered that northern elephant seals can serve as 'smart sensors' for monitoring fish populations in the ocean’s twilight zone. Seals' foraging ...
