Investigating the Predation Risk of Coastal Dolphins via the Presence of Shark Bite Scars Across Southeast Queensland, Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Assessing Loggerhead Turtle Exposure to Fisheries in Northwest Africa: Predicted Risk and Management Gaps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Biologging and Global Fishing Watch data reveal extensive spatial and vertical overlap between loggerhead turtles from the Cabo Verde population and fisheries across the Northeast Atlantic, highlighting areas of high predicted bycatch risk and gaps in current protections. ABSTRACT Bycatch is the accidental capture of non‐target animals in fishing gear,

Modeling distribution and abundance of Antarctic baleen whales using ships of opportunity

, 2012
Information on animal abundance and distribution is at the cornerstone of many wildlife and conservation strategies. However, these data can be difficult and costly to obtain for cetacean species.

Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

Mating Attempts and Sustained Interest Behaviors of Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) Toward a Dead Conspecific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.
