Nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values measured in temporally overlapping, paired hair (circles) and chronologically sub-sampled whiskers (lines) of young-of-the-year (YoY; n = 16 individuals) and adult female (AF; n = 4) southern elephant seals. The mean (±SD) epidermis δ15N values of n = 5 different adult females are also shown for comparison. Solid lines: fitted Loess smoothers with associated standard error (gray shading); vertical gray rectangle: portion of the whisker grown concurrently with hair synthesis during the molt fast; purple dashed lines: position along the whiskers that reflects at sea foraging with the plot position (x-axis) set to zero, signifying the end of the molt fast (Lübcker et al. 2020a). The hair and epidermis bulk tissue isotope values were overlaid with the whisker δ15N values to illustrate the position along the length of the whiskers where the δ15N values were most comparable. The hair and epidermis δ15N values resembled the whisker δ15N values during a known catabolic state. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5373ad8ae4b0fca944981635/1630583136602-J1SBFNJSJSGZP3F49PZJ/Lubcker+moult+image.jpg News - Can we use molted hair stable isotope and amino acid δ15N values to assess foraging specialization? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.marionseals.com/blog/2021/8/13/prof-nico-de-bruyn-contributing-author-what-works-in-conservation monthly 0.5 2021-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5373ad8ae4b0fca944981635/1628859203325-SCA58QNE65M3ICP920BE/WWIC.jpg News - Prof. Nico de Bruyn contributing expert reviewer for “What Works in Conservation” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.marionseals.com/blog/2021/6/22/new-paper-moult-haulout-duration-and-timing-depends-on-age-and-breeding-state-of-female-southern-elephant-seals monthly 0.5 2021-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5373ad8ae4b0fca944981635/1624368174741-PMUWT2A0OVLYK07MOAWA/Mould+female.jpg News - NEW PAPER: Moult as related to age and breeding state of female southern elephant seals - Make it stand out Southern elephant seal on marion Island starting to moult around its face.

(b) Survival trajectory of females breeding for the first time at ages 4 or later. Solid circles correspond to the annual survival probability of experienced breeders. The regression line indicates the logit-linear relationship between age and survival of experienced breeders. Early breeders had a lower senescence rate than delayed breeders. The age at the onset of senescence (where survival probability starts to decline at old age) is indicated with a dotted line.

Life history events can be distinguished based on δ15N (mean ± SD) measured along the length of the vibrissae. The onset (indicated by the arrow) of the independent foraging (transitioning period) is characterised by a 3.7‰ δ15N depletion and we used only the period representing independent foraging for dietary reconstruction (red box).
