Dear colleagues,

My co-authors and I are happy to announce our new publication on the harbour seal mating system, and male-male aggression in relation to mating: Galatius A, Teilmann J, Tougaard J, Dietz R. 2020 "Variation of male-male aggression patterns in harbor seals (Phoca vitulina)" in Aquatic Mammals.

We briefly review available evidence of male-male aggression in relation to harbour seal mating, and with new data from Denmark, provide evidence that patterns of aggression are different in different areas.

A pdf copy is available upon request.

Best regards,

Anders Galatius
