The Battle of Helminths Deep: Molecular Insights Into Oegopsid Squid Parasites in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Cephalopods play crucial roles in marine ecosystems due to their diverse and indispensable contributions to trophic webs. However, parasitological research on cephalopods remains limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), despite the commercial significance of certain squid species and the zoonotic potential of the parasites within them. This study aimed to

Stable Isotope Analysis of New Zealand Fur Seal Vibrissae Shows Deceased Juveniles Were Weaned Early

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
The New Zealand fur seal/kekeno (Arctocephalus forsteri, NZFS) is a marine predator native to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Little is known about its fine‐scale dispersal around New Zealand in the nonbreeding season. As an alternative to external marking or electronic tracking, stable isotope analysis was trialed to determine the origin of stranded (deceased ...

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

What's there beyond the sun and the sea? Detecting tourists' interest towards nature in a mass tourism destination using social media data

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1802-1816, June 2026.
Abstract Nature‐based tourism is a rapidly growing subsector of the international tourism industry. However, capturing broad‐scale patterns of nature visits during touristic trips or visitors' appreciation of nature may be difficult using traditional data sources and methods. In this study, we harness geotagged social media data to understand the scale

A process‐based social‐ecological systems framework for studying the effects of human recreation on wildlife

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1648-1659, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the effects of human recreation on wildlife is fundamental for effective management and coexistence, where natural landscapes increasingly serve a dual purpose: protecting biodiversity while providing recreational opportunities. Social‐ecological systems frameworks, which acknowledge the reciprocal links between people and nature,
