Author Name
Bernard J. Le Boeuf (Author)
Bernard Le Boeuf, Emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of California at Santa Cruz, is known for his research on the evolution of social behavior and foraging ecology of marine mammals, and is expert on elephant seals. He has written three books and over 200 research articles on the natural history of these animals. In addition, he has co-edited a book on university/industry relations and written a fictional novella with a conservation theme. Regarding the latter, he says, "After years of writing about the hard facts of science, it was liberating to write fiction. I could make things up!" In his spare time, Le Boeuf makes wine from his own vineyard, enjoys a daily cocktail and fine food, and plays passable golf.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Description
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. .
