Territoriality, reproductive success, and dispersal in southern sea otters: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will work cooperatively with the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct a study entitled Territoriality, reproductive success, and dispersal in southern sea otters. The objectives of the study are to characterize patterns of male territoriality, to measure the degree of polygamy, and to examine the factors affecting male reproductive success in southern sea otters, and also to describe the patterns and predictors of long distance dispersal. Information from the research will be incorporated into recovery and management strategies for the southern sea otter. Funding for the research will be provided by the Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office. Study results will be beneficial for the recovery and long-term management of the southern sea otter.
