Individuals of different age, sex, and morphology are expected to exhibit differences in dietary niches largely owing to sexual dimorphism, ontogenetic niche shifts, and resource polymorphism. Harp ( Pagophilus groenlandicus (Erxleben, 1777)) and hooded ( Cystophora cristata (Erxleben, 1777)) seals are geographically overlapping and highly migratory predators in the North Atlantic Ocean. These species differ in their diving behaviour, with hooded seals diving deeper, longer, and more associated with the continental shelf edge and deep ocean than harp seals. We examined blubber fatty acid (FA) composition (N = 37; 93% of total FA by mass) of harp (adults N = 294; juveniles N = 232) and hooded (adults N = 118; juveniles N = 38) seals to test hypotheses about sources of intrinsic (age and sex) and extrinsic (geographic location, season, year) variations in diets. A significant difference in FA profiles suggested dietary segregation between species. We found significant effects of sex and age class on FA profiles, with these being more pronounced in the highly size-dimorphic hooded seals than in harp seals. FA profiles of both species also varied between inshore and offshore sampling locations and between prebreeding and postbreeding periods. Finally, FA profiles of harp seals differed among years, which was coincident with large changes in prey distribution and availability in the mid-1990s.

A comprehensive analysis of waveforms of seismic and infrasonic vibrations from the earthquake that occurred on December 5, 2014, in the water area of Lake Hovsgol was performed. The analysis showed that the infrasonic signal recorded at the Tory station (Geophysical Observatory of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences) was formed by the sources of three generation types: local, secondary, and epicentral. The obtained results allow us to propose the model of epicentral infrasonic signal generation by flexural waves from an elastic ice membrane on the surface of Lake Hovsgol.
