Covering the behaviour and ecology of the northern fur seal, this text is a long-term study of marine mammals, testing theory through observation of undisturbed behaviour and manipulative experiments on individuals. the text draws on nearly two decades of research on three different islands to show how behaviour among these seals changes with population size, sex ratio and environment, to explain the behaviour of the population, beginning with individuals, and to generalize the results to other members of the earded seal population.
