Variation in milk production and lactation performance in grey seals and consequences for pup growth and weaning characteristics
(1999-12)
Phocid seals are one of the few groups of mammals capable of sustaining the energetic demands of
lactation entirely through body nutrient stores while fasting. Lactation performance of the female
in turn influences the ...
The energetics of male reproduction in an acquatically mating pinniped, the harbour seal
