The relationship between oceanographic conditions and predator population dynamics is a complex but critical area of study in ...

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 ...

Stone-Age cannibalism, elephant seals act as deep sea sentinels, rabbits eat their own teeth, and our ears used to be gills.

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 ...

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.
