Understanding the distribution of marine megafauna in the English channel region: identifying key habitats for conservation within the busiest seaway on earth. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The temperate waters of the North-Eastern Atlantic have a long history of maritime resource richness and, as a result, the European Union is endeavouring to maintain regional productivity and biodiversity. At the intersection of these aims lies potential

Energyscapes pinpoint marine megafauna feeding hotspots in the Mediterranean. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Significance The Mediterranean Sea is a biodiversity hotspot, but also the most anthropogenically impacted marine region. Surprisingly, this sea of trouble still harbors a minimum of 4.1 million large fish, mammals, reptiles, and birds.

Functional diversity of marine megafauna in the Anthropocene. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2020
Threatened marine megafauna have larger-than-expected contributions to functional diversity; a new index identifies key species. Marine megafauna, the largest animals in the oceans, serve key roles in ecosystem functioning.

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at-sea anthropogenic threats. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
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.

Fine-scale intraspecific niche partitioning in a highly mobile, marine megafauna species: implications for ecology and conservation. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci, 2023
A species may partition its realized ecological niche along bionomic and scenopoetic axes due to intraspecific competition for limited resources. How partitioning manifests depends on resource needs and availability by and for the partitioning groups ...

Remote submerged banks and mesophotic ecosystems can provide key habitat for endangered marine megafauna. [PDF]

Sci Adv
The importance of some ecosystems remains poorly understood. We showed that mesophotic ecosystems (30 to 150 m) are a key habitat for a critically endangered species, with strong evidence that a globally important population of adult hawksbill turtles ...
