- Title
THREE-DIMENSIONAL DIVING BEHAVIORS OF RINGED SEALS (PHOCA HISPIDA).
- Authors
Kelly, Brendan P.; Wartzok, Douglas
- Abstract
Classifies the dives of five freely diving ringed seals into three-dimensional movement types. Details of horizontally convoluted dives, simple dives that did not include convoluted movements, and directional dives with nearly linear horizontal travel; Observations; Time-depth profiles; Lack of behavioral differences between dives with distinct time-depth profiles; Suggestion that time-depth profiles are not a reliable means of inferring dive behaviors for ringed seals.
