Abstract
This dataset contains physiological measurements from adult female-pup pairs in Erebus Bay, Antarctica in 2022-2023. Pairs were sampled over the course of the lactation period and post-weaning. We measured indices of iron mobilization (ferritin, serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation), hemoprotein concentrations, and oxygen stores. Iron isotope composition of blood and tissues were also measured in a subset of adult female-pup pairs.
As well as iron isotope composition of Weddell seal blood, milk, and organs.
