Values of δ13C in California Sea Lions showed significant interannual differences with more negative values from 2015 to 2019, suggesting offshore foraging habits. Significant interannual differences in δ15N in California Sea Lions, with a declining trend of more than 1‰ between 2013 and 2019 and a trophic level (4.89) that slightly increased toward 2019, because of a declining presence of the South American Pilchard and an increase in species like the North Pacific Hake, suggested a shift of foraging grounds to higher latitudes. Foraging plasticity was found in the California Sea Lion, caused by environmental changes that modified prey availability and led to variations in foraging grounds, and consequently in the colony abundance over time. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="right" > <div class="ad"> <div class="widget widget-AdBlockDynamic
