Habitat fidelity of adult grey seals over multiple years in a changing marine ecosystem
Home range fidelity appears to persist over the life of grey seals, despite significant environmental and ecological change occurring within their habitat during our study period. These findings contribute to understanding the potential consequences of projected environmental change for this and other central place foraging species.
