The Influence of Reproductive Experience on Milk Energy Output and Lactation Performance in the Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus)
(2011-05)
Although evidence from domestic and laboratory species suggests that reproductive experience
plays a critical role in the development of aspects of lactation performance, whether reproductive
experience may have a significant ...
Primiparous and multiparous females differ in mammary gland alveolar development: implications for milk production
(2012-08)
Mammary gland capacity is influenced by the number of secretory cells in the gland, the activity
of those cells and the size and arrangement of the alveoli that they form. Although reproductive
experience has been shown ...
Jellyfish Support High Energy Intake of Leatherback Sea Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea): Video Evidence from Animal-Borne Cameras
(2012-03)
The endangered leatherback turtle is a large, highly migratory marine predator that inexplicably
relies upon a diet of low-energy gelatinous zooplankton. The location of these prey may be
predictable at large oceanographic ...
Animal-Borne Acoustic Transceivers Reveal Patterns of at-Sea Associations in an Upper-Trophic Level Predator
(2012-11)
Satellite telemetry data have substantially increased our understanding of habitat use and
foraging behaviour of upper-trophic marine predators, but fall short of providing an understanding
of their social behaviour. We ...
