Lay Summary : We used fine-scale measurements of resting metabolism to define seasonal patterns of baseline energy demands for spotted, ringed, and bearded seals. These data reveal energetic consequences of different molting strategies and provide source data for population and bioenergetics models aimed at assessing the sensitivity of Arctic seals to environmental warming.
