Detection of polymorphisms of the mtDNA control region of Caretta caretta (Testudines: Cheloniidae) by PCR-SSCP

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Research, 2009
Marine turtles are increasingly being threatened worldwide by anthropogenic activities. Better understanding of their life cycle, behavior and population structure is imperative for the design of adequate conservation strategies. The mtDNA control region is a fast-evolving matrilineal marker that has been employed in the study of marine turtle ...

Mitigating the effect of by‐catch on endangered marine life

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 172-184, April 2025.
Fishing gears cause substantial impacts on the oceans and their ecosystems, and many marine animals, such as sea turtles, marine mammals, seabirds and elasmobranchs, end up as by ‐catch. In this paper, the most effective mitigation measures were investigated for each group, taking into account the fishing gear with which they interact most.

Management implications of human livelihood strategies on Madagascar's coastal landscapes

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract The unsustainable harvest and consumption of wild animals destabilizes both wildlife populations and the human livelihoods that depend upon them. In coastal landscapes, the overexploitation of terrestrial resources can increase pressures on marine ecosystems, and vice versa.
