Annual Cycles of Diving Behavior and Ecology of the Weddell Seal - Michael A. Castellini - Bog

This work details more than ten years of study in the Antarctic on the diving biology of Weddell seals, a species capable of diving over 600 meters and for as long as 82 minutes. The authors focus on seasonal diving patterns and geographical differences and discuss how diving patterns are influenced by the physical and ecological environment of the seals.
