the male northern elephant seals of Isla Guadalupe with faster call pulse rates might have been the original settlers of the southern rookeries.
C.
the calls of male northern elephant seals in the southern rookeries have more sophisticated structures, containing doublets and triplets.
D.

a large number of male northern elephant seals from Año Nuevo Island might have migrated to the southern rookeries to recolonise them.
