Genomic Insights Into the Evolutionary History of Berardius Beaked Whales: Speciation Driven by Resource Specialization, Gigantism and Thermal Barriers?

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the diversity of our oceans is fundamental now more than ever as climate change and human activities put increasing pressure on marine species and ecosystems. Beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) are among the most poorly understood marine mammals, in part due to their affinity to offshore underwater canyons and prolonged diving ...

Risk Is Not Equal to Impact: The Challenges of Developing a Traffic Light System to Regulate Farmed Salmon Production on an Ecosystem Scale

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We review information on salmon farming production, environmental and climatic variables covering all salmon farming areas in the Patagonia marine ecosystems over a 10‐year period in Chile. With this information, we develop a semi‐quantitative Environmental and Productive Risk Assessment (RA) model as a guide for the design of a Traffic Light ...

Looking for North Atlantic Baleen Whales: When are they coming to the Azores?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
The archipelago of the Azores is like an oasis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded by deep waters, those islands are a “must stop” place for every traveler, including, of course, cetaceans.

Closing the Gaps: Integrating Biological, Ecological and Taxonomic Data to Support the Identification and Conservation of the Atlantic Pygmy Devil Ray (Mobula hypostoma)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Atlantic pygmy devil ray (Mobula hypostoma) is an endangered mobulid species whose conservation is hindered by taxonomic confusion and significant gaps in ecological and life history knowledge. Here, we present an integrative study that clarifies the species' taxonomic status, updates its distribution and synthesizes new and existing data ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Morphology and Distribution of Olfactory Receptor Neurons in Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Teleostei): Implications for Olfactory Hydrodynamics

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 5, May 2026.
The number and distribution of olfactory receptors over the olfactory lamellar surface of four juvenile southern bluefin tuna were quantified using scanning electron microscopy. The microvillous olfactory receptors (mORN) are concentrated in the rostral region of the lamellar surface, while ciliated olfactory receptors (cORN), which are dominant in ...

Great Meteor Seamount Circulation Revisited: Insights Into Cold‐Water Coral Habitat Potential

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seamounts play a crucial role in shaping deep‐sea ecosystem structure, influencing ocean circulation, enhancing biological productivity, and supporting diverse marine life. The Great Meteor Seamount (GMS), is the largest seamount in the North Atlantic and a key ecological feature in the regional network of the Protected Areas of the Azores ...

Ecoacoustics for context‐rich direct and indirect trophic interaction data and ecological network construction

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1489-1505, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding species interactions is critical for ecology and conservation, yet conventional network construction methods often lack spatiotemporal resolution and important contextual information. The growing field of ecoacoustics enables remote sensing across large spatiotemporal scales and the monitoring of otherwise cryptic communities ...

The distribution of a rarely encountered stingray, Megatrygon microps, informed by citizen science: A systematic review

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study combines literature and online data sources to expand the smalleye stingray's range, highlight ecological interactions and specific threats. Abstract Many chondrichthyan fishes are experiencing alarming population declines primarily due to overfishing, exacerbated by their inherently vulnerable life history traits including slow growth rates

Anomalous colouration in an Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) from southeastern Brazil.

Brazilian Journal of Aquatic Science and Technology, 2013
This note report the first published account of atypical colouration condiction known as pied or piebald for the Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis).  The opportunistic sighting was made at close range between Cabo de São Tomé and Cabo Frio Campos Basin, southeastern Brazil, approximately 60 km offshore.
