The points are Argos satellite hits, where the colors represent the accuracy of the location estimate based on the Argos location classes (red: no accuracy estimation, orange: >1500 meters, yellow: 500-1500 meters, green: 250-500 meters, blue: <250 meters). A ‘typical’ translocation (see map here) is when a juvenile returns to Año Nuevo, just as Xena did. Toby, on the other hand, decided to go to another elephant seal rookery further south at Piedras Blancas. https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/gif1.gifGif1https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/figure4.pngFigure4Pictures taken of Xena and Toby while they were back at the lab, posing for some infrared pictures (converted to the visible spectrum) taken with the FLIR ONE Pro before being instrumented. https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/figure3-2-1.jpgFigure3 (2)The regulation of blood flow to the periphery/blubber layer is important for both thermoregulation (left) and the dive response (right). (Left) This figure (from Environmental Physiology of Animals – 2nd Ed) shows how the constriction (or dilation) of blood vessels in the blubber layer affects how much heat is lost from the body core. (Right) The diagram presents the three main physiological changes associated with the mammalian dive response: apnea (i.e. breath-hold), bradycardia (i.e. reduced heart rate), and peripheral vasoconstriction (i.e. reduction of blood flow to the body’s extremities). Marine mammals exhibit these changes on more extreme levels, but all mammals (even humans) experience these changes to some degree when submerged in water. https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/figure2-1.pngFigure2A snapshot of about 1 hour of raw data collected by the tags that were on C.J. viewed in Instrument Helper (Wildlife Computers, Redmond, WA). The data includes: (1) dive profile (navy blue) (2) heat flux from the ax (light blue) and flank (lime green) sensors, (3) skin temperature from the ax (black) and flank (red) sensors (3) water temperature (light gray) (4) 3-axis accelerometer (only y-axis shown in dark green in figure). The lime green numbers on the y-axis of the plot is showing units in mV for heat flux. 2019-12-06T18:52:53+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/11/25/dinner-table-under-the-sea/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/gettyimages-1050723690.jpgThanksgiving Dinner backgroundThanksgiving dinner background with turkey and all sides dishes, pumpkin pie, fall leaves and seasonal autumnal decor on wooden background, top view, copy space.2019-11-25T17:58:31+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/11/18/can-you-hear-me-now/2019-11-19T17:52:38+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/11/12/gummy-bears-and-math/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/dscn6420.jpgdscn6420https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/guillemots.jpgguillemotshttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/fighinthesea.jpgfighinthesea2019-11-12T22:16:38+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/10/18/true-facts/2019-10-18T16:40:29+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/10/11/instruction-manuals-for-scientists/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bestpractices_fig2.jpgbestPractices_fig2https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bestpractive_fig1.jpgbestPractive_fig12019-10-15T18:29:33+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/writers/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/sadieulman.jpgsadieulmanhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/renae_bio_11.pngrenae_bio_1https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/pam_parker.pngpam_parkerhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/johnmaniscalco.jpgjohnmaniscalcohttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/markushorning.pngmarkushorninghttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/katrinaedgar.jpgkatrinaedgarhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/brown_bio.pngbrown_biohttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1544403_10100546267986777_1628452944_n-e1528998330316.jpg1544403_10100546267986777_1628452944_nhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/juls_profile-e1528998553371.jpgJuls_profile2019-10-11T18:36:19+00:00weekly0.6https://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/09/28/sunset-on-shark-season-2019/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/20180822_172609.jpg20180822_172609https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/20180822_161944.jpg20180822_161944https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/sleeper_tagged-e1569602153416.jpgsleeper_taggedhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/sleeper_keeper-1-e1569601862766.jpgsleeper_keeper2019-09-28T17:49:51+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/09/13/a-steller-menu/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/edier2.jpgedier22019-09-13T16:55:01+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/09/02/pick-up-a-good-book/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/20190902_103326-e1567449348764.jpg20190902_1033262019-09-02T18:45:06+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/08/20/what-can-we-do/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/impacts1.jpgimpacts1https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/earthrise1_apollo8andersweigang_960.jpgEarthrise1_Apollo8AndersWeigang_960https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nprb.pngNPRBhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/phone2.jpgphone2https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/phone1.pngphone1https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/innvoation.jpginnvoation2019-08-20T19:29:06+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2019/07/31/live-slow-and-prosper/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ceattle.pngCEATTLEExample of multiple linkages that go into understanding the health of Alaska's Oceans and the potential impacts of Climate Change.

Here at the ASLC we use recording STPs that require us to recover the device to gain access to stored temperature data. In the wild, we use transmitting STPs that link to an external tag that in turn records or relays the data, for example via satellite transmissions--this set up can be seen in the above figure.

A harbor seal is placed on its back onto an insulated, elevated table and the surgical area is covered in a sterile drape with an opening. The seal is intubated for application of the anesthetic and is provided with ventilation (mechanical breathing assistance). The portable surgical unit is heated. The surgical team consists of a veterinary surgeon, a sterile assistant and a non-sterile anesthetist. A gas-sterilized telemetry transmitter (in this example an LHX tag) is rinsed and inserted through a ventral midline incision that is subsequently sutured shut with multiple layers of self-dissolving, antibacterial-coated suture material (© Markus Horning, pursuant to NMFS permit no. 19309, AUP A/NW2016-1).https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/bp_paper-nutshell_blog-a.jpgBP_paper-nutshell_blog-Ahttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/reccomm.pngreccommhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/best_practice.pngbest_practice2017-11-17T18:24:31+00:00monthlyhttps://stories.alaskasealife.org/2017/11/17/otto-and-yankee-doodle-are-doing-well/https://stories.alaskasealife.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/otto_harbor_3.jpgOtto_harbor_3Otto, an 8-year-old southern sea otter, emerges in Morro Bay after his release.

As of May 2016, the southern sea otter’s range extends from south of Half Moon Bay in the north to southeast of Point Conception in the south—only a small part of their historical range.
