Weddell seal moms sacrifice diving capacity to provide iron to pups; climate change could add vulnerability

Summary by Ground News

A new WHOI-led study shows that during lactation, female Weddell seals provide so much iron to their pups that the mothers then need to dramatically limit their own diving and underwater foraging capabilities. Post-partum female dive durations declined, and late summer dives were the shortest in duration when compared to the rest of the year.
