“…Little penguins and other seabirds were identified in juvenile, sub-adult, and adult male long-nosed fur seal diets, at two locations in southern Australia and at low occurrence frequencies (Page et al, 2005;Hardy et al, 2017;Goldsworthy et al, 2019). Across several sites in Bass Strait and Eastern Victoria, long-nosed fur seals were more likely to predate little penguins originating from sites in closest proximity to them (Reinhold et al, 2022). However, beyond the presence of diagnostic remains in scat samples, we fundamentally lacked any further quantitative information on this predator-prey interaction, particularly for 'unquantifiable remains', such as feathers and when prey are not consumed whole.…”
