An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Estimates of Marine Mammal, Sea Turtle, and Seabird Mortality in the California Drift Gillnet Fishery for Swordfish and Thresher Shark, 1996–2002 [PDF]

, 2004
Estimates of incidental marine mammal, sea turtle, and seabird mortality in the California drift gillnet fishery for broadbill swordfish, Xiphias gladius, and common thresher shark, Alopias vulpinus, are summarized for the 7-year period, 1996 to 2002 ...

Multi‐event modeling of Hector's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori) fecundity using four decades of monitoring: Implications for current management of bycatch

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Updated estimate of fecundity for Hector's dolphin is lower and more precise than prior estimation. This latest estimate suggests a lower capacity for population growth than previously thought and a reduced resilience to anthropogenic threats. Abstract Prediction of future population trajectories is vital in the management of threatened species but ...

Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae in Stranded Cetaceans: A 6-Year Monitoring of the Ligurian Sea in Italy

Animals
Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (Pdd) is an increasingly common bacterium in post-mortem diagnostics of beached marine mammals, but little is known about its precise etiological responsibility.

Beyond area: Evaluating Australia's contribution to Aichi Target 11 and implications for 30 × 30

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Australia has expanded its land‐based protected areas significantly between 2010 and 2022, increasing overall coverage from 12.1% to 22.3% and improving the protection of intact landscapes. However, progress on key biodiversity metrics—such as threatened species coverage and bioregional representation—has been limited, with many species and regions ...

Visual Modelling to Predict Behavioural Responses of Catsharks, Skates, and Plaice to Artificial Light for Use in Bycatch Reduction

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...

Structure and optics of the anterior segment of the cetacean eye : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at Massey University [PDF]

, 1999
The anterior segment of the mammalian eye is concerned with the function and maintenance of its optical components, the most important of these being the maintenance of transparency and stable intraocular pressure.

Post‐Release Survival of the Pelagic Stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea, Bonaparte, 1832) in French Longline Fisheries in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bycatch remains a critical challenge in global fisheries, even when using selective gears such as longlines. In the French longline fishery targeting Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the Gulf of Lion, the common pelagic stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea) is the primary bycatch species.

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and
