Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

The Unseen Crisis of Sharks and Rays in Senegal
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study presents a conservative quantitative assessment of shark and ray landings and trade in Senegal, revealing extensive exploitation of threatened species. Surveys at two major artisanal processing sites in the Casamance region recorded over 170,000 individuals, mostly rays, with nearly all biomass comprising species at risk of extinction, and ...

Does absence of charismatic species impact the ecotourism potential of Central Mediterranean islands? [PDF]
, 2018 Central Mediterranean Islands tend to be devoid of large terrestrial charismatic fauna which usually serve as target species for ecotourism. This has raised questions on the potential of ecotourism in such destinations.

Applying the Ecological Trap Concept to Cetaceans
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Wild animals may select poor‐quality habitats due to mismatches between perceived and actual habitat quality, creating ecological traps. Although well explored in terrestrial systems, this concept remains underutilized for marine species.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) play an important role in marine ecosystems as top predators, nutrient vectors, and indicators of ecosystem health. In Aotearoa New Zealand, sperm whales remain largely understudied other than at Kaikōura, a foraging area for males.
