The paper shows that early-life environmental conditions affect male Antarctic fur seal recruitment and population dynamics, linking environmental variability to population decline through delayed recruitment strategies.

This study evaluates the reuse of microtiter plates for PCR and fragment detection, finding that PCR plates lead to increased genotyping errors while detection plates can be reused without data quality loss.

The paper investigates inbreeding effects on birth mass, survival, and growth in Antarctic fur seal pups and finds no clear or consistent inbreeding depression in these traits.
