Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

Observer coverage and interaction rates determine the choice between design‐based and machine learning bycatch estimators for rare species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Robust estimates of the magnitude of protected species bycatch are essential for effective fisheries management and marine conservation. Existing bycatch estimation methods typically struggle to accurately and precisely estimate the bycatch of rare species as a result of the statistical assumptions necessary to overcome infrequent encounters ...

Sea Turtle Bycatch Mitigation in U.S. Longline Fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Capture of sea turtles in longline fisheries has been implicated in population declines of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles. Since 2004, United States (U.S.) longline vessels targeting swordfish and tunas in the

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2286-2297, September 2026.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1134-1150, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the three Colombian Caribbean loggerhead sea turtles, using next-generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758), is an endangered sea turtle in Colombian Caribbean beach. In the present study was sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA of three loggerhead turtles using Illumina next-generation sequencing ...

Umbilical Cord: A Non‐Invasive DNA Source for Sea Turtle Genomics

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput sequencing has revolutionised conservation genomics by enabling genome‐wide information even in non‐model species. However, obtaining non‐invasive samples for genomics remains challenging in species like sea turtles, which spend most of their lives in the open ocean.

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...
