Effects of ice cover on the behavioural patterns of aquatic-mating male bearded seals
Article Abstract:
The effects of ice cover on the behavior of the male bearded seals, Erignathus barbatus, were examined by using vocalizations. The yearly fluctuations in ice berg cover may alter the long-term mating success of individuals and predictably available display areas are preferred to areas that are more likely to be enclosed by fast-ice in some years.

Vocalizations and movements suggest alternative mating tactics in male bearded seals
Article Abstract:
Research collected during mating season for male bearded seals in Norway distinguishes between territorial and roaming seals. Research tried to determine whether the difference in behavior and localization made any difference in respect to reproductive strategies.
