Evaluating how populations are connected by migration is important for understanding species resilience because gene flow can facilitate recovery from demographic declines. We therefore investigated the extent to which may have contributed global of Antarctic fur seal ( Arctocephalus gazella ), a circumpolar distributed marine mammal that was brought brink extinction sealing industry in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It widely believed animals emigrating South Georgia, where relict...
Abstract We report on an occurrence of ocular albinism in sub-Antarctic fur seal ( Arctocephalus tropicalis ) pups born Marion Island, Prince Edward Archipelago. While previous observations have documented with atypical lanugo pelage colorations, this is the first case involving hypopigmentation both and other tissues, including eyes nails. During austral summer 2021/22, we encountered four displaying anomalous pigmentation. These individuals were found along two beaches island’s western...
