* » Abstract |
Infectious disease has the potential to pose serious risk to Hawaiian Monk Seal populations. HMSRP is currently researching and evaluating methods to minimize disease threats to this endangered population, including potential vaccination programs. Observation of seal behavior and social interactions will provide information critical to understanding contact rates between animals which will aid our efforts modeling epidemiological processes and planning vaccination or other disease risk mitigation strategies. To provide this crucial data on seal behavior and contact rates this project aims to: • Describe the haul-out patterns and numbers of seals using haul-out beaches on Oahu in the MHI and Laysan in the NWHI. • Document individual seal behavior and interactions between seals; o especially with regard to different types of potentially infectious contacts. o with attention to age/sex patterns that may help identify generalities of high-risk seals. |
* Purpose |
Better understand the behavioral ecology of monk seals, particularly social behavior and interactions between seals, this will aid research and recovery efforts related to epidemiology as well as seal aggression. |

Description |
This accession is a table containing visual observations of Hawaiian monk seal behavioral interactions and contact rates collected on Oahu and Laysan Island from 2015-06-01 to 2015-09-01. Animal identities, associations, and behaviors were collected and analyzed in order to 1) describe the haul-out patterns and numbers of seals using haul-out beaches on Oahu in the MHI and Laysan in the NWHI, and 2) document individual seal behavior and interactions between seals, especially with regard to different types of potentially infectious contacts with attention to age/sex patterns that may help identify generalities of high-risk seals. These data are used to support NMFS monk seal recovery efforts which include modeling epidemiological processes and planning vaccination and other disease risk mitigation strategies. |

Conceptual Consistency | |
» Quality Control Procedures Employed |
Observations were made by 2 to 3 field personnel per study site, so that observations could be verified for coding consistency - behaviors were recorded using standardized codes to minimize subjective interpretation by observers. Data were entered and double checked upon entry. |
