Fig. S1. Mirounga leonina. Changes over time in the estimated lipid mass during 30 post-moult foraging trips of female southern elephant seals from Macquarie Island, Australia (solid line), with 95% confidence intervals (dashed lines). The black dot indicates the measured final lipid mass of the seal upon return to Macquarie Island. The final lipid mass for seal c699pm_01 is not shown, since the inclusion of this value (>250 kg) inhibits the clarity of the figure
