Codamozza-Fluker: The Compelling Case of a Flukeless Fin Whale Traveling Throughout the Mediterranean Sea and the Need for Basin-Wide Conservation Efforts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The authors report the first case of a live fin whale in the Mediterranean Sea with completely amputated flukes, a female which suffered two separated incidents with entanglement and collision both being hypothesized as causes. Sightings after the complete loss of her flukes enabled tracking her movements from September 2019 to July 2020, prior to her ...

Evaluating Three Modelling Frameworks for Assessing Changes in Fin Whale Distribution in the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Generalized Additive Models (GAMs), Boosted Regression Trees (BRTs), and Hurdle Models for modeling fin whale density and habitat suitability in the NW Mediterranean Sea. Key findings reveal that while all models effectively distinguished whale presence and absence, density and habitat relationships varied ...

Sex-Specific Variation in Foraging Behavior is Related to Telomere Length in a Long-Lived Seabird. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Foraging during breeding is energetically demanding, intimately linked to breeding investment, and possibly constrained by individual condition. Telomere length, the protective nucleoproteins located at the ends of the chromosomes, is considered a trait reflecting somatic maintenance and individual quality. We found that brown booby females with longer

Fiddler Crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Ocypodidae) From Coastal Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands: Species Descriptions and DNA Barcodes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Twenty‐five taxa were collected during the surveys, while two more were noted from the literature and museum collections; five are new to Ecuador. DNA sequences for cytochrome c oxidase–subunit 1 were obtained for 27 operational taxonomic units with three morphologically indistinguishable cryptic or pseudo‐cryptic taxa were also revealed.

Genome-Wide Population Structure in a Marine Keystone Species, the European Flat Oyster (Ostrea edulis). [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Ostrea edulis, the European flat oyster, was once a widespread economically and ecologically important marine species, but has suffered dramatic declines over the past two centuries. Consequently, there has been a surge in European restoration efforts, many of which focus on restocking as a conservation measure.

Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained

Miocene paleomagnetism of Baja California Sur; evidence concerning the structural development of western Mexico

Geofísica Internacional, 1988
Se ha determinado un polo paleomagnético, aparentemente del Mioceno inferior al medio, a 85.4°N, 71.2°E (5=6.2°) mediante mediciones del magnetismo remanente en rocas volcánicas en 16 sitios de Baja California Sur.

Potencial energético del Alto Golfo de California

Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, 2009
The upper part of the Gulf of Baja California, besides the ecological diversity and mineral resources, has a great potential in energy resources. In this paper it is presented a preliminary evaluation of the ideal actions in order to obtain electric energy if renewable resources were used.
