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.

As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Regularization for Implicit Surfaces

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Implicit surface representations have regained popularity because of their use in machine learning. A common component in optimization is regularization, penalizing the deviation of the surface from its original shape. The popular as‐rigid‐as‐possible (Arap) energy strikes a good compromise between realistic deformation behavior and efficient ...

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 ...

The Governance Role of Quasi‐Official Shareholder Activism: Evidence From Firm–Investor Communication in China

Corporate Governance: An International Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research Question/Issue We investigate whether a quasi‐official minority shareholder, the China Securities Investor Services Center (CSISC), affects firms' investor relations management when it actively exercises its shareholder rights in listed firms. Research Findings/Insights We employ a machine learning–based algorithm to estimate response

Subsurface Behaviors of Hector's Dolphins Could Increase Their Risk of Bycatch

Conservation Letters
Hector's dolphins, endemic to New Zealand, suffer from bycatch in fishing gear. Fishing restrictions in inshore areas have reduced bycatch, although dolphins have been recorded outside these areas.

Animal Teachers: Nonhuman Pedagogy and the Question of Deceit

Educational Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract Animals as “teachers” of human children and adults is a recurring theme in children's literature, in anthropological accounts of “feral children,” as well as in contemporary practices of animal‐assisted pedagogy, philosophical research, wildlife documentaries, and popular culture.

Cardiopulmonary adaptations of a diving marine mammal, the bottlenose dolphin: Physiology during anesthesia

Physiological Reports
Diving marine mammals are a diverse group of semi‐ to completely aquatic species. Some species are targets of conservation and rehabilitation efforts; other populations are permanently housed under human care and may contribute to clinical and biomedical

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.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...
