Red‐list status and extinction risk of the world's whales, dolphins, and porpoises
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract To understand the scope and scale of the loss of biodiversity, tools are required that can be applied in a standardized manner to all species globally, spanning realms from land to the open ocean. We used data from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List to provide a synthesis of the conservation status and extinction ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 2354-2361, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Drift experiments are essential to understand stranding patterns and estimate the mortality of beached animals. Most studies do not use telemetry technology due to the high costs of this methodology. The objective of this paper is to describe the possibilities of tracking marine tetrapod carcasses with a low‐cost and replicable methodology ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Many species are restricted to a marginal or suboptimal fraction of their historical range due to anthropogenic impacts, making it hard to interpret their ecological preferences from modern‐day data alone. However, inferring past ecological states is limited by the availability of robust data and biases in historical archives, posing a ...

The ecology and evolution of human‐wildlife cooperation
People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 841-855, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Human‐wildlife cooperation is a type of mutualism in which a human and a wild, free‐living animal actively coordinate their behaviour to achieve a common beneficial outcome. While other cooperative human‐animal interactions involving captive coercion or artificial selection (including domestication) have received extensive attention, we lack ...

Modeling population effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on a long‐lived species
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill exposed common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Bay, Louisiana to heavy oiling that caused increased mortality and chronic disease and impaired reproduction in surviving dolphins. We conducted photographic surveys and veterinary assessments in the decade following the spill.
