Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Ecological genetics of dugongs (Dugong dugon) in Queensland [PDF]
Effective management of species is paramount to their survival in the face of ever-increasing threats. To ensure appropriate conservation management, ongoing monitoring of a species’ dispersal patterns is required to assess the impact potential barriers can have on limiting the exchange of genetic material between populations.

Seagrass Sampling Methods in a Community‐Based Setting, A Comparative Analysis
ABSTRACT Effective monitoring of seagrass is essential for the conservation of this critical marine ecosystem. The choice of monitoring method depends on balancing accuracy, efficiency, cost and accessibility, especially in contexts requiring community engagement and ownership.

Conflicts about Living Marine Resources in Southeast Asian and Australian Waters: Turtles and Dugong as Cases [PDF]
This paper considers conflicts that arise and socioeconomic problems involved in managing fugitive resources, especially transborder or transfrontier ones when economic development occurs.

Abstract Understanding species interactions is critical for ecology and conservation, yet conventional network construction methods often lack spatiotemporal resolution and important contextual information. The growing field of ecoacoustics enables remote sensing across large spatiotemporal scales and the monitoring of otherwise cryptic communities ...

Long-distance oceanic movement of a solitary dugong (Dugong dugon) to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands [PDF]
In this paper, we report on the arrival of a small (2 m long) male dugong (Dugong dugon) to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands (12° 12' S, 96° 54' E), Indian Ocean.

A survey of phytomyxid parasites in seagrasses of the genus Halophila reveals previously unrecognised diversity and a widespread presence of Marinomyxa within Halophila meadows, supporting a tight co‐evolutionary relationship between the two genera. ABSTRACT Marinomyxa is a genus of obligate intracellular parasitic protists known to infect tropical ...

On the Placentation of the Halicore Dugong [PDF]
(Abstract.)The only observations hitherto recorded on the placentation of the Dugong are by Paul Harting, of Utrecht, in 1878, who examined the foetal membranes of a foetus 27.8 cent. long. He stated that the placenta was diffused and non-deciduate.The gravid uterus described in this communication was presented to the author by C. W. de Vis, Esq., M.A.,
