Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Evidence for a fisher‐designed solution to manta and devil ray bycatch in tuna fisheries
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Bycatch in global tropical tuna purse seine fisheries represents a significant source of mortality for manta and devil rays (mobulids), which are globally threatened. Use of best handling and rapid release practices on purse seine vessels can substantially reduce mortality and improve vulnerability status for mobulids.

Redistribution of Cetaceans Based on Ocean Temperature Using Spatiotemporal Regression Models
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim A warming climate is predicted to drive shifts in marine species' distribution. Determining the environmental variables influencing the distribution and habitat use of large predators, such as cetaceans, is critical for conservation management, yet remains poorly understood.

Trophic interactions among three elasmobranch species coexisting in the Oman Sea: implications for resource partitioning [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2017 In this study, trophic interactions were studied among three elasmobranches including Iago omanensis, Rhinobatos punctifer and Torpedo sinuspersici coexisting in the depth ranging from 50 to 100 meters in the Oman Sea (Sistan and Balochistan waters).
