Modeling habitat and bycatch risk for dugongs in Sabah, Malaysia

Endangered Species Research, 2014
Bycatch of marine megafauna in fishing gear is a problem with global implications. Bycatch rates can be difficult to quantify, especially in countries where there are limited data on the abundance and distribution of coastal marine mammals, the ...

Commercial viability of locating pelagic longline branchline weights at the hook to reduce seabird bycatch

Endangered Species Research, 2020
Bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries threatens the viability of some seabird populations and reduces fishing efficiency. The mass of a branchline fishing weight and its distance from the hook significantly explain seabird catch risk during setting and ...

Characterization of salmon‐foraging harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Erimo region, Hokkaido, Japan, using finite mixture models

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Test of light emitting diodes (LED) as a possible bycatch mitigation measure in a gillnet fishery

Global Ecology and Conservation
Substantial seabird bycatch occurs in North Atlantic lumpfish fisheries, potentially impacting seabird populations and raising concerns about the fisheries’ sustainability. Despite increased efforts to address this issue, existing approaches have yielded
