Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

Survey of selected viral agents (herpesvirus, adenovirus and hepatitis E virus) in liver and lung samples of cetaceans, Brazil

Scientific Reports
Hepatic and pulmonary lesions are common in cetaceans, despite their poorly understood viral etiology. Herpesviruses (HV), adenoviruses (AdV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) are emerging agents in cetaceans, associated with liver and/or pulmonary damage in ...

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.

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Candida spp. in Cetaceans: Neglected Emerging Challenges in Marine Ecosystems

Microorganisms
Cetaceans, which are crucial in marine ecosystems, act as sentinels for ecosystem and human–environmental health. However, emerging fungal infections, particularly by Candida spp., pose a growing concern in these marine mammals.

Effects of Body Size and Environmental Region on the Nutritional Value of Small Pelagic Species in the California Current

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of regional environment and body size on the nutritional traits of five small pelagic species differing in habitat use, feeding behavior, and importance as prey for top predators in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME).

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Evolution of cetacean-specific conserved non-coding elements suggests their role in the limb changes during secondary aquatic adaptation

BMC Biology
Background Limb morphology is particularly important for animals to inhabit different environments. Limb modifications (e.g., flipper-like forelimbs and hindlimb regression) are among the most critical secondary aquatic adaptation mechanisms enabling ...

Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.
