Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Does dispersal differ between the sexes? Our findings underscore the power of genomic markers to study sex‐biased dispersal, elucidate sex determination systems, and facilitate sex assignment, with important implications for species conservation and management. ABSTRACT Does dispersal differ between the sexes?

Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Managing marine turtles: A study of marine turtle conservation science and policy.
Marine turtles are an ancient group of reptiles that have been used by humans as a source of protein for over 7,000 years. In recent decades, acknowledgement of the various threats to marine turtles, including the deleterious impact of historical and ...

Planes on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes
We sequenced COI and 16S rRNA genes from 106 crab megalopae found rafting on the pelagic sea snake Hydrophis platurus to test whether they were the obligate rafting species Planes minutus. Instead, all larvae belonged to three inter‐ to supratidal grapsid crabs—Pachygrapsus socius, Goniopsis pulchra, and Grapsus grapsus—revealing no evidence of Planes.

Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark‐Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins
Companion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

Measures of niche overlap are important tools in various ecological and evolutionary studies. Here we create and apply a multispecies overlap metric to both simulated and empirical communities, illustrating how this methodology may capture interactions and structure of niche space in ways that traditional, pairwise metrics overlook.
