Weaning mass and the future survival of juvenile southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina , at Macquarie Island. Antarctic Science, 2000 (Ref: 9243)
Authors:
McMahon C.R.Burton H.R.Bester M.N.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Seals that survived their first year were on average 2% and 4% heavier at birth and at weaning than the “non-survivors”. First year survival rates were also calculated for weaners in the top quartile of weaning masses, these weaners had higher survival rates than those in the light quartile (71.

Field immobilisation of southern elephant seals with intravenous tiletamine and zolazepam. The Veterinary Record, 2000 (Ref: 9184)
Authors:
McMahon C.Burton H.McLean S.Slip D.Bester M.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Elephant seals were immobilized intravenously with a mixture of tiletamine and zolazepam at a rate of 0.5 mg/kg. This provided a satisfactory degree of anaesthesia with no side effects. Induction, duration and recovery times were short which proved advantageous to researchers and animals.

Long-term changes in the population status of Southern Elephant Seals (Mirounga leonina) at Macquarie Island, 1952-2005. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006, 2006 (Ref: 12525)
Authors:
Van den Hoff J.Burton H.Raymond B.Bester M.
Category 3: Abstract

The southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) population at Macquarie Island represents … about 10% of the world’s population. The number of adult females breeding at the island has … decreased substantially since the first whole island census was conducted in 1952.

Authors:
McMahon C.R.Hindell M.A.Burton H.R.Bester M.N.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The dynamics of animal populations are determined by several key demographic parameters, which vary over time with resultant changes in the status of the population. When managing … declining populations, the identification of the parameters that drive such change are a high priority…
