Successful 22‐Hour Rescue and Release of a 19.5 M Beached Sperm Whale

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
19.5‐m‐long sperm whale was stranded on a mudflat, China on 19 April 2022. A dramatic 22‐hour rescue mission ultimately saved the whale, enabling it to swim back to sea. ABSTRACT Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are important flagship species and play a vital role in maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems. However, stranded cetaceans are often doomed if

Presenting the scientific discourse of biodiversity loss through drivers, solutions, and responsibilities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity loss is considered a major global issue, but at the same time, scientists interpret it differently, identifying varied drivers, solutions, and responsibilities in their published works. These interpretations shape the scientific narratives these scientists use to discuss biodiversity loss, which, in turn, affects policy through ...

Host Detection by Cuckoo Bumblebees: Choice Experiments Reveal Non‐Visual Cues Support Host Detection, but Accuracy Is Low

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Female Bombus vestalis cuckoo bumblebees were introduced to a flight arena containing four identical opaque boxes, featuring slits to release volatiles from the bumblebees inside. When only one box contained a developing host colony, the cuckoos were able to locate their hosts among the four boxes with 66.2% accuracy.

A Modified Gear Removal Index (GRI) Method to Support the Management of Abandoned Fishing Gear on Coralligenous Reefs

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discarded Fishing Gears (ALDFG) have significant negative effects on marine ecosystems. In the Mediterranean Sea, the impact of ALDFG is particularly relevant on coralligenous reefs. The management of ALDFG focuses primarily on their removal, however this type of intervention may potentially damage the habitat, so ...

An Updated Ecology of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) at Sea

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic salmon have had a key role in European and North American oceans and human societies. Salmon are exploited and observed in rivers and along coasts, but there has always been great interest in knowing where salmon are going when they are at sea.
