Strategic conservation prioritization through creating and updating the regional species of greatest conservation need list in the northeastern United States

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is declining globally, underscoring the need for conservation strategies informed by regional expertise. In the northeastern United States, 14 state wildlife agencies and taxonomic experts developed the Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list, revealing that global and national datasets captured only ~55% of regionally ...

Post‐Release Survival of the Pelagic Stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea, Bonaparte, 1832) in French Longline Fisheries in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bycatch remains a critical challenge in global fisheries, even when using selective gears such as longlines. In the French longline fishery targeting Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the Gulf of Lion, the common pelagic stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea) is the primary bycatch species.

Multi‐objective maritime vessel routing with safety considerations

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The routing of maritime vessels is a challenging optimization problem that involves finding an adequate balance between conflicting and multiple objectives. This paper proposes a methodology based on inverse optimization to find appropriate objective weights that account for conflicting objectives. To formulate the inverse optimization problem,

Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths.
