Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Updated estimate of fecundity for Hector's dolphin is lower and more precise than prior estimation. This latest estimate suggests a lower capacity for population growth than previously thought and a reduced resilience to anthropogenic threats. Abstract Prediction of future population trajectories is vital in the management of threatened species but ...

Size and body condition drive the energetic cost of a baleen whale foraging in shallow habitat [PDF]
PeerJEnergy expenditure strongly influences an animal’s foraging decisions and activity budgets. Diving animals especially need to be energetically efficient because they exercise while oxygen is limited.

Analysis of Sea Turtle Bycatch by Andalusia Pelagic Longline Fleet in the Northeast Atlantic
Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Northeast Atlantic is one of the most crucial foraging grounds for juvenile loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), while also serving as an important fishing area for the Andalusia surface longline fishery. The main aim of present study is to assess the sea turtle interaction with the Andalusia pelagic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract This study aimed to identify geographical distribution patterns of the giant short‐tailed river stingray Potamotrygon brachyura and the motoro stingray Potamotrygon motoro in the Uruguay River basin. Data on presence/absence of stingrays were based on fishers' knowledge accessed by interviews through expeditions in Brazil, Argentina and ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Toward Data-Driven Glare Classification and Prediction for Marine Megafauna Survey
, 2023 Critically endangered species in Canadian North Atlantic waters are systematically surveyed to estimate species populations which influence governing policies. Due to its impact on policy, population accuracy is important. This paper lays the foundation towards a data-driven glare modelling system, which will allow surveyors to preemptively minimize ...
