Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Double‐Edged Sword of Social Media Algorithms: Assessing the Risks to University Cybersecurity and Student Data Privacy

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Social media algorithms drive a hidden risk chain: over‐disclosure → behavioral fusion → targeted attacks. We propose a 128‐dim, law‐aware risk scoring model with Drools‐based dynamic alerts for universities. ABSTRACT As universities undergo accelerated digital transformation, social media algorithms—while streamlining campus services—have emerged as a
