Table 1. Summary of the difference in hunting times between negative and positive sea ice concentration anomalies and earlier and later sea ice advance for males and females.
Negative sea ice concentration anomalies (Females = 15; Males = 18) | Positive sea ice concentration anomalies (Females = 14; Males = 17) | Totalmales | Totalfemales | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Males | 4.6 min longer/dive (~47% of the median hunting time) | n.a | 21 | |
Males with (ID-V) | 4.9 min longer/dive (~50% of the median hunting time) | n.a | ||
Females | n.a | 3.9 min longer/dive (~24% of the median hunting time) | 17 | |
Females with (ID-V) | n.a | 4.6 min longer/dive (~28% of the median hunting time) | ||
Earlier sea ice advance (Females = 14; Males = 17) | Later sea ice advance (Females = 14; Males = 16) | Totalmales | Totalfemales | |
Males | 1.9 min longer/dive (~20% of the median hunting time) | n.a | 19 | |
Males with (ID-V) | 0.6 min longer/dive (~6.6% of the median hunting time) | n.a | ||
Females | 5.3 min longer/dive (~41% of the median hunting time) | n.a | 14 | |
Females with (ID-V) | 3.5 min longer/dive (~30% of the median hunting time) | n.a |
Values were indicated for all individuals or for randomly selected individuals among the pool of observed SESs to take into account individual variability (ID-V). The number of individuals in each group and the total was also indicated.
