Age Dependent Lactation Dynamics in Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga angustirostris)

The research titled: 'Age Dependent Lactation Dynamics in Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga angustirostris)' authored by Elise Baugh and Mimi Chavez, examines age-related variations in lactation periods in northern elephant seals at Año Nuevo State Park. The study utilized a long-term data set, collected over the course of 48 years of breeding season observations data from 1,704 adult female seals. This research highlights the importance of incorporating age related changes and variations in reproductive behavioral patterns in order to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms influencing population dynamics.
