Ontogenetic changes in southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) fur morphology

Kate Riordan et al.

Summary: Many animals, including sea otters, exhibit morphological changes across ontogeny associated with adaptations to their environment. This study quantified ontogenetic changes in hair morphology of southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) pelts and found that neonate and small pup pelts had longer guard hairs than older age classes. Natal pelage had a lower hair density than the pelage of older age classes, with the adult pelage exhibiting the highest hair density. The morphological differences between natal and adult pelage in sea otters suggest functional differences that may make sea otter pups more vulnerable to heat loss.

Summary: Tracking marine mammals with electronic devices helps researchers better understand animal movements and behaviors. This study found that using neoprene patches may reduce negative consequences of instrumentation in fur seals by maintaining insulation and reducing air loss.
