Goose barnacles hitchhike on satellite-tracked southern elephant seals

Goose barnacles (Lepas australis) attached to satellite-relay data loggers were carried by three southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) from Marion Island. Their movements across the Polar Frontal Zone are presented, providing further evidence that megafauna are potential vectors for the transport of species into the Southern Ocean.

Abstract

Goose barnacles (Lepas australis) attached to satellite-relay data loggers were carried by three southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) from Marion Island. Their movements across the Polar Frontal Zone are presented, providing further evidence that megafauna are potential vectors for the transport of species into the Southern Ocean.
