Description, Detection, and Classification of Hawaiian Monk Seal Vocalizations Through Deep‐Learning Methods: Biological and Conservation Applications

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Hawaiian monk seal is a phocid Carnivore endemic to the Hawaiian Archipelago. This species was thought to be silent under water until the recent discovery that mature males produce at least six distinct calls year round, typically in bouts of two or more, with sound production linked to reproductive status.

Marine Functional Connectivity Contributes to Ecosystem Functioning Across Multiple Scales

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The passive transport and active movements of marine organisms between habitats and ecosystems, known as marine functional connectivity, play a critical role in the functioning of marine ecosystems. However, marine functional connectivity, particularly at large spatial scales, is often understudied, and consequently tends to be overlooked in ...

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Leveraging Next‐Generation Tools for Genetic Assessment and Demographic Monitoring in Threatened and Elusive Humboldt Martens

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation assessments of imperiled species require information on population structure, abundance, and connectivity which benefit from integrated demographic and genetic data. Humboldt martens (Martes caurina humboldtensis) are a federally threatened subspecies of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) whose conservation has been hindered by ...
