The paper assesses seal-to-seal transmission pathways of HPAI H5N1 among southern elephant seals using movement data, finding potential but unlikely spread between colonies.

This study tracks the spread and evolution of H5N1 in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica, revealing long-distance dispersal and mammalian-adaptive mutations.

This study reports the arrival of HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b in sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean islands, causing mass mortality in seals and birds, and identifies independent introductions from South Georgia.

This study uses sonar tags to analyze fine-scale hunting tactics of Antarctic fur seals capturing evasive prey, finding that seals and prey detect each other simultaneously and seals use bursts of acceleration to catch prey.

The paper analyzes hunting tactics of Southern elephant seals and prey anti-predatory behaviors using sonar tags during foraging trips.

This study uses sonar and bioluminescence tags on seals to analyze mesopelagic prey size and behavior across oceanographic domains, finding vertical and temperature-related differences in prey characteristics.
