Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological drivers of variation in tool-use frequency across sea otter populations
TL;DR: The morphology of the prey item being handled and the prevalence of various types of prey in local diets were major ecological drivers of tool use: together they accounted for about 64% of the variation in tool-use frequency among populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral responses across a mosaic of ecosystem states restructure a sea otter-urchin trophic cascade.
Joshua G Smith,Joseph A. Tomoleoni,Michelle M. Staedler,Sophia Lyon,Jessica A. Fujii,M. Tim Tinker,M. Tim Tinker +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the behavioral response of an apex predator to changes in prey behavior and condition can dramatically alter the role and relative contribution of top-down forcing, depending on the spatial organization of ecosystem states.

Journal ArticleDOI
Gaps in kelp cover may threaten the recovery of California sea otters
Teri E. Nicholson,Karl A. Mayer,Michelle M. Staedler,Jessica A. Fujii,Michael J. Murray,Andrew B. Johnson,M. Tim Tinker,M. Tim Tinker,Kyle S. Van Houtan,Kyle S. Van Houtan +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a dataset of 725 sea otter live strandings from 1984-2015 to gain insights into demographic and environmental factors underlying threats to sea otters recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surrogate rearing a keystone species to enhance population and ecosystem restoration
Karl A. Mayer,M. Tim Tinker,Teri E. Nicholson,Michael J. Murray,Andrew B. Johnson,Michelle M. Staedler,Jessica A. Fujii,Kyle S. Van Houtan +7 more
TL;DR: An individual-based model of the local population using surveyed individual fates of surrogate-reared and wild-captured otters, and modelled estimates of immigration indicate the integration of surrogacy methods and reintroduction of juvenile sea otters helped establish a biologically successful population and restore a once-impaired ecosystem.
