Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Indo‐Pacific: A Review of Their Distribution, Population Structure, and Ecology

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...

Are thermal barriers "higher" in deep sea turtle nests?

PLoS ONE, 2017
Thermal tolerances are affected by the range of temperatures that species encounter in their habitat. Daniel Janzen hypothesized in his "Why mountain passes are higher in the tropics" that temperature gradients were effective barriers to animal movements

Body Temperature of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle Caretta Caretta and the Leatherback Sea Turtle Dermochelys Coriacea During Nesting [PDF]

Zoologica Africana, 1978
Body temperatures of loggerhead and leatherback turtles recorded during nesting excursions were found to be greater than sea temperatures. Leatherback turtles exhibited greater temperature differentials (5,3 - 6,25°C) than loggerhead turtles (1,9 - 3,22°C).The possibility that leatherback turtles may have a preferred temperature range (30 - 32°C) as is

Habitat Differentiation and Trait Variation Across Disturbance Gradients in Coastal Plant Communities of the Andaman Coast, Thailand

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Tree communities in a tropical coastal dune system exhibited distinct habitat differentiation across a sea‐to‐land disturbance gradient. These habitat differences were reflected in species composition, species diversity, and community‐weighted mean wood density.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Informing research priorities for immature sea turtles through expert elicitation

Endangered Species Research, 2018
Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large proportion of sea turtle populations comprises immature ...
