Prioritizing Shark, Ray, and Chimaera Conservation in Rapidly Changing Polar Waters. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
Polar sharks, rays, and chimaeras face growing pressures from changing sea‐ice conditions, expanding fisheries, and limited protection. Our assessment highlights where critical habitats occur and how Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) can support more targeted conservation and fisheries management across the Arctic and Antarctic.

International Governance and Marine Genetics Resources in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (MRG in ABNJ)

open access: yes, 2019
Depuis le milieu des années 1990, l'intérêt pour les ressources génétiques marines issues d'espaces situés au-delà des zones de juridiction nationale des États est croissant. Ces ressources sont extrêmement prometteuses pour le développement de nouveaux produits tels que des médicaments ou des bioplastiques.

Do Ultrasound Measures of Bladder Neck Location and Movement During Pelvic Floor Contraction or Straining Relate to Bladder Neck Support During Voiding? [PDF]

open access: yesNeurourol Urodyn
ABSTRACT Purpose Poor support of the bladder neck is common in voiding dysfunction but remains difficult to assess. Transperineal ultrasound imaging during voiding provides reliable measures but is not yet implemented in practice. This study aimed to investigate whether conventional measures of bladder neck position during straining and pelvic floor ...

A Repeatability Study of Measurement of Micturition With Voiding Sonography and Uroflowmetry of Asymptomatic Women. [PDF]

open access: yesLow Urin Tract Symptoms
ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to assess the intra‐ and inter‐tester repeatability of voiding sonography measures in asymptomatic women and to examine the effect of perineal transducer placement on uroflowmetry. Methods A prospective observational study of 32 asymptomatic women was conducted using ultrasound with simultaneous uroflowmetry. Participants

Only One Percent of Important Shark and Ray Areas in the Western Indian Ocean Are Fully Protected From Fishing Pressure. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Delineation of Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) In the Western Indian Ocean was enhanced by the verification and incorporation of unpublished records. Even with this expanded dataset, ~99% of ISRA coverage fell outside of fully protected, no‐take MPAs.

Are integrative systematic tools efficient toward unraveling species diversity with the genus Jania (Corallinaceae, Rhodophyta)? [PDF]

open access: yesJ Phycol
Abstract The articulated genus Jania currently comprises 54 accepted species, making it the fourth most speciose genus among corallines, following Lithophyllum, Amphiroa, and Lithothamnion. Unlike these other genera, Jania is relatively easy to identify at a generic rank. However, morpho‐anatomical characters are insufficiently discriminant for species

Data-driven approach for highlighting priority areas for protection in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
One of the aims of the United Nations (UN) negotiations on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) is to develop a legal process for the establishment of area-based management tools ...

L’avenir des ressources génétiques marines au-delà des juridictions nationales : enjeux à l’aube d’un nouveau traité international

open access: yesVertigO, 2021
Over the last decades, the pressure on the environment of marine areas beyond the national jurisdiction of States (ABNJ) has been steadily increasing. In addition to the already visible impact of activities such as deep-sea fishing and maritime traffic ...

Global Cold-Water Coral Biodiversity Redistribution Under Projected Climate Change. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
Cold‐water corals are key habitat providers in the world's oceans, yet their global distribution, diversity patterns, and vulnerability to climate change remain poorly understood. Our study mapped the global distribution of 741 cold‐water coral species and showed that while the overall coral biome may persist in the future, many species will shift ...
