DNA Retention in Sea Lamprey Digestive Tracts: Insights From Controlled Feeding Experiments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Host DNA from a single species was detected via DNA metabarcoding from sea lamprey digestive tracts up to 30 days post‐feeding at 5°C, 10°C, and 15°C. Multiple previous host species could be detected from a single lamprey up to 30 days after fasting at 10°C.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring Reveals New Insights Into the Acoustic Occurrence and Foraging Activity of Hector's Dolphins in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
To effectively mitigate disturbances from human activities on vulnerable dolphin populations, it is crucial to understand fine‐scale variation in habitat use. This study investigated the habitat utilisation of a small subpopulation of Hector's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand.

Meeting Livestock Protein and Amino Acids Needs With Edible Insects: A Critical Review

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Comparison of the use of traditional protein sources (soybean meal and fish meal) and insects meal in monogastrics and aquaculture (created in BioRender. Luttenschlager, H. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ndztqxp) ABSTRACT The increasing demand for animal‐based protein has led to biodiversity loss, deforestation, pollution, and extensive land use, mainly ...

Density dependence modulates climate change impacts on eastern Bering Sea snow crab

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our results underscore the need for management capable of addressing the impacts of both density and climate effects on multiple processes in harvested populations. Non‐stationarity in drivers of population dynamics (e.g. climate change) will further affect the ability of management to achieve sustainable yields.

Using the marine flyways concept to accelerate ocean conservation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Implementing the marine flyways framework can secure ecological connectivity across the marine environment, including in synergistic implementation of existing regional policy instruments and multiple multilateral environmental agreements, including CMS, the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) and the Agreement on the Conservation ...

Monitoring small‐scale fisheries through participatory, app‐based surveys in the tropical archipelago of São Tomé and Príncipe

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Small Island Developing States have limited capacity to monitor Small Scale Fisheries, despite their high dependence on marine resources. Participatory monitoring of Small Scale Fisheries can fill data gaps while integrating resource users into fisheries management.

Perspectives of fishers on turtle bycatch and conservation strategies in a small-scale inland commercial fyke net fishery

Endangered Species Research, 2013
We compiled information on the perspectives of fishers on turtle bycatch, turtle conservation, and turtle bycatch reduction strategies (BRSs). Our research efforts focused on a small-scale inland fyke net commercial fishery in Ontario, Canada, where ...

Assessment of land‐based threats to Atlantic pelagic seabirds

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Highly mobile pelagic seabirds face numerous land‐based threats during their breeding seasons, including invasive alien species, climate change, and diseases, which drive population declines. Using field expertise and a literature review, we collated a dataset assessing 18 threats affecting 49 species across 38 Atlantic Large Marine Ecosystems. We used

Integrating Local Ecological Knowledge and Fishing Effort Data to Inform Bycatch Management of Threatened Marine Fauna in Small‐Scale Fisheries

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To examine the utility of local ecological knowledge (LEK) and fishing effort data in revealing bycatch patterns of marine threatened species in small‐scale fisheries to inform their conservation and management. Location Northern Haizhou Bay, China (35° to 37° N, 119° to 122° E).

Bycatch mitigation from the sky: using helicopter communication for mobulid conservation in tropical tuna fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science
The incidental capture of non-target species (bycatch) in tuna fisheries impacts some marine vertebrates, particularly species with vulnerable life histories such as manta and devil rays (mobulids).
