Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the publication of a new review article in the journal Northwestern Naturalist:

Steingass, Sheanna. "Dietary Composition of Four Stocks of Pacific Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina richardii) In the Northern California Current Large Marine Ecosystem As Synthesized From Historical Data, 1931–2013." Northwestern Naturalist 98.1 (2017): 8-23.

This review quantified data from various sources regarding the diet of the Pacific harbor seal on the Oregon and Washington coasts, Puget Sound and Inland waters, and Salish Sea.  Data included spanned a period of 82 years, with comparisons by stock and season.

You can access the full PDF at this address: http://www.bioone.org/doi/pdf/10.1898/NWN16-05.1
