    Mating tactics and mating system of an aquatic-mating pinniped: the harbor seal, Phoca vitulina

    Does male harassment of females contribute to reproductive synchrony in the grey seal by affecting maternal performance?

    We investigated the possibility that male harassment of lactating females differed in relation to time of birth in the grey seal, Halichoerus grypus, on Sable Island, Nova Scotia. This was done by comparing th...
