Survey for Placental Disease and Reproductive Pathogens in the Endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal

The lack of reproductive pathogens identified in the sampled population indicates that factors other than reproductive pathology, such as resource limitation or other external stressors, may drive the observed variability in monk seal reproductive rates.

Comparative Application of Trophic Ecosystem Models To Evaluate Drivers of Endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal Populations

Trophic models compare ecosystem structure and energy flow that supports two subpopulations (on Laysan Island and French Frigate Shoals atoll), each with varied rates of decline (1998–2015).
