Participatory Mapping of Karajarri Sea Country Knowledge to Guide IPA Zoning and Ranger Management
Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT The expansion of Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) into coastal and marine environments requires spatial planning approaches that support Traditional Owner aspirations for Sea Country management while respecting Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Megaherbivores such as African savannah elephants are ecosystem engineers that modify vegetation structure, yet the cascading effects of these changes on smaller fauna remain poorly understood. We examined how elephant rewilding affected coarse woody debris (CWD) density and the behavior of the Natal multimammate mouse in lowveld savannah, South Africa,

Bayesian Estimation of Individual Gray Whale Space Use Reveals Differential Exposure to Stressors
Ecology and EvolutionThis study quantifies the individual space use patterns of Pacific Coast Feeding Group gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) from photographic capture‐recapture data, collected in central Oregon, U.S.A., within a Bayesian framework.

Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We present paleontological evidence that may prove the Dry Refuge Model in Ecuador during the Late Pleistocene. ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Recent technological advancements have rapidly expanded our capacity for collecting image data in the marine environment, but processing images into meaningful ecological metrics remains a manual, time‐consuming, and biased process. This is particularly challenging with electro‐optical cabled imaging systems which generate images at a rate ...

Examining the efficacy of a sanctuary to protect sharks in the Galapagos Marine Reserve
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract In 2016, Ecuador established a no‐take marine sanctuary in the northern portion of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR), ostensibly to protect sharks. Arguably because of this, experimental longlining was permitted in the rest of the reserve as part of a compensation package to local fishers. Considering this agreement and very low bycatch rates

An intelligent system for marine megafauna recognition and tracking
ICES Journal of Marine ScienceAbstract Marine megafauna are essential ecological indicators, and underwater video surveys produce large, diverse image collections that are challenging to process automatically. We introduce MBMOT, a curated dataset of 50 deep-sea video sequences (over 23 000 frames) with rich biodiversity annotations, and SMART, an intelligent ...
