Modeling population effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on a long-lived species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill exposed common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Bay, Louisiana to heavy oiling that caused increased mortality and chronic disease and impaired reproduction in surviving dolphins. We conducted photographic surveys and veterinary assessments in the decade following the spill.

A stochastic model for estimating sustainable limits to wildlife mortality in a changing world. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Human‐caused mortality of wildlife is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. Assessing the population‐level impact of fisheries bycatch and other human‐caused mortality of wildlife has typically relied upon deterministic methods. However, population declines are often accelerated by stochastic factors that are not accounted for in such ...

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

In Vitro Antiproliferative Activity of Fucoidans Extracted From <i>Sargassum natans</i> and <i>Sargassum fluitans</i> in the HeLa Cell Line. [PDF]

Int J Food Sci
This paper presents an analysis of the polyphenol content, antioxidant capacity, and antiproliferative activity of fucoidans extracted from Sargassum natans and Sargassum fluitans. The results obtained indicated a high total polyphenol content (113 ± 2.3 mg GAE/g), which is probably associated with great antioxidant capacity.

Socioeconomic drivers of wild meat consumption in the city of Iquitos, Peru. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Wild meat represents a vital source of micro‐ and macronutrients for forest‐dwelling people; however, city dwellers with access to animal protein from different animals may also consume large amounts of wild meat as part of their customs and traditions, to diversify their diets, to maintain connections to their rural kin, and to access meat ...

Red‐list status and extinction risk of the world's whales, dolphins, and porpoises

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract To understand the scope and scale of the loss of biodiversity, tools are required that can be applied in a standardized manner to all species globally, spanning realms from land to the open ocean. We used data from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List to provide a synthesis of the conservation status and extinction ...

Influence of Thermal Treatments, Extraction Methods, and Storage Conditions on Lycopene Content of Foods

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Lycopene is one of the main carotenoids in our daily diet. Fruit variety, environmental conditions, and maturity stage are the factors affecting the content of lycopene. Various processing techniques and extraction methods may also affect the level of lycopene in different food products, consequently changing the biological role of lycopene.
