The METAL team is proud to announce a new publication:
Bishop AM, Barst BD, Rea LD (2024) Foraging niche, sex-specific resource partitioning, and mercury concentrations of male Steller sea lions in Alaska. Marine Ecology Progress Series 736:147–165.
Figure above: Examples of the oscillating values of δ15N (‰), and total mercury concentration ([THg] ub μg g-1 dw [or ppm], orange, right axis) for 6 male Steller sea lions (A–F). The x-axis shows change over time, with the segments grown earlier in the individual’s life having a value of ‘distance to the tip’ closer to zero, and the more recently grown segments with greater values for distance to the tip. Note the different ranges of the axes for each individual.
