Regional Variation in Winter Foraging Strategies by Weddell Seals in Eastern Antarctica and the Ross Sea

The relative importance of intrinsic and extrinsic determinants of animal foraging is often difficult to quantify. The most southerly breeding mammal, the Weddell seal, remains in the Antarctic pack-ice year-round. We compared Weddell seals tagged at three geographically and hydrographically distinc...
