Abstract As apex predators, pinnipeds are considered to be useful bioindicators of marine and coastal environments. Endemic a small archipelago in the South Pacific, Juan Fernandez fur seal (JFFS) is one less‐studied members pinniped family Otariidae . This study aimed characterize fecal microbiome JFFS for first time, establish baseline future studies host–microbial–environment interactions monitoring programs. During two consecutive reproductive seasons, 57 samples were collected from...

Heavy metals, including mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd), occur naturally or anthropogenically are considered toxic to the environment human health. However, studies on heavy metal contamination focus locations close industrialized settlements, while isolated environments with little activity often ignored due perceived low risk. This study reports exposure in Juan Fernandez fur seals (JFFS), a marine mammal endemic an relatively pristine archipelago off coast of Chile. We found exceptionally...
