Hiding in Plain Sight: Evidence of Echeneidae Cloacal and Gill Diving Behavior in Manta Ray Hosts
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Here we document seven observations of Echeneidae cloacal diving behavior in manta rays and one observation of gill attachment behavior. These observations span all three currently described species of manta rays (Mobula yarae, Mobula birostris, and Mobula alfredi), demonstrate the ability of large Echeneidae to perform cloacal diving behavior in both ...

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.

The Deep‐Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May‐June 2026.Deep‐sea predator foraging is shaped by prey richness, accessibility, and density. Using eDNA and acoustics, we mapped fish and cephalopod communities across inshore‐offshore gradients around the Azores in foraging habitats of three co‐occurring deep‐diving toothed whales.
