How did the elephant seal survive being driven to the brink of
extinction in the nineteenth century? What variables determine the
lifetime reproductive success of individual seals? How have
elephant seals adapted to tolerate remarkable physiological
extremes of nutrition, temperature, asphyxia, and pressure?
Answering these questions and many more, this book is the result of
the author's 50-year study of elephant seals. The chapters cover a
broad range of topics including diving, feeding, migration and
reproductive behavior, yielding fundamental information on general
biological principles, the operation of natural selection, the
evolution of social behavior, the formation of vocal dialects,
colony development, and population changes over time. The book will
be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers of
marine mammal behavior and reproductive life history as well as for
amateur naturalists interested in these fascinating animals.
