Swimming with captive dolphins: current debates and post-experience dissonance [PDF]

, 2007
Dolphins have widespread contemporary appeal and anthropomorphic social representations of dolphins have fuelled a growing desire in tourist populations to seek interaction with them.

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 342-369, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Correcting detection bias in mapping the abundance of marine megafauna using a Mediterranean seabird as an example

ICES Journal of Marine Science
Distance sampling surveys are extensively used to estimate the abundance of wide-ranging species but are prone to detection biases. This may be particularly acute for strip-transect protocols, which assume perfect detection. We examined this assumption

Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.

Cameras and carcasses: historical and current methods for using artificial food falls to study deep-water animals [PDF]

, 2007
Deep-ocean animals remain poorly understood compared to their shallow-water relatives, mainly because of the great cost and difficulty involved in obtaining reliable ecological data.

Evidence for a fisher‐designed solution to manta and devil ray bycatch in tuna fisheries

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Bycatch in global tropical tuna purse seine fisheries represents a significant source of mortality for manta and devil rays (mobulids), which are globally threatened. Use of best handling and rapid release practices on purse seine vessels can substantially reduce mortality and improve vulnerability status for mobulids.

Estimating non‐US longline fishing impacts on Hawai‘i pelagic false killer whales in a transboundary assessment area

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Downscaling Regional Fishery Management Organization reported longline effort data using fine‐scale Global Fishing Watch effort estimates facilitates estimates of non‐US effort within a transboundary management area. These effort estimates are then used to predict interaction with the Hawai‘i pelagic false killer whale in non‐US fleets, reducing ...

Bayesian Estimation of Individual Gray Whale Space Use Reveals Differential Exposure to Stressors

Ecology and Evolution
This 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.
