Characterizing Habitat Suitability of Long‐Finned Pilot Whales in a Key Conservation Region of the Southern Iberian Peninsula Using Satellite Tracking Data

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The waters surrounding the southern Iberian Peninsula are a key conservation area for the long‐finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas melas), particularly in the pelagic regions of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Alboran Sea, and the Gulf of Vera, where upwelling, complex bathymetry and frontal dynamics enhance productivity and prey availability,

Marine litter within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive

, 2013
There have been numerous anthropogenic-driven changes to our planet in the last half-century. One of the most evident changes is the ubiquity and abundance of litter in the marine environment. The EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC)

Integrating zooplankton biomarkers within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) assessment

Mediterranean Marine Science
Biomarkers are increasingly recognized as sensitive indicators of physiological and ecological responses in marine organisms, offering new perspectives for monitoring and ecosystem status assessment. Traditional indices of species composition and biomass, though valuable, often fail to capture early sublethal or functional changes in zooplankton ...

Contribution of EMODNET Batrymetry Project to Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Case of use:IEO.

, 2021
With this work we want to highlight that all data collected in EMODnet is essential information in order to have a database with reference information about the marine environment to achieve the objectives of MSFD. In the case of EMODnet bathymetry, on the one hand, the researchers of IEO are participating as partners on the development of the EMODnet ...

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to
