The Dynamic Nature of Nearshore Shark Nurseries in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Some habitats serve particularly important functions for wildlife. Identifying and appropriately managing these ‘essential habitats’ is critical, especially for wildlife that have faced severe population declines like sharks. Nursery habitats aid in the survival and development of juvenile sharks, which until recently were not formally ...

Phocine distemper Virus : current knowledge and future directions [PDF]

, 2014
Phocine distemper virus (PDV) was first recognized in 1988 following a massive epidemic in harbor and grey seals in north-western Europe. Since then, the epidemiology of infection in North Atlantic and Arctic pinnipeds has been investigated.

Using ‘pup multipliers’ to estimate demographic parameters of Mediterranean monk seals in the eastern Mediterranean Sea

Endangered Species Research
A thorough understanding of population demographics is important in planning and evaluating conservation actions. At the same time, it is also essential that conservation management strives to minimize uncertainty in decision making in order to avoid ...

Evaluating the Potential for Citizen Science Divers to Monitor Fish Biodiversity Through Passive eDNA Collection

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Passive capture of eDNA can be used as a tool for citizen scientist SCUBA divers to supplement visual surveys for marine species detection and is particularly useful for species that are rare or visually inaccessible to divers. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) marker gene sequencing, or metabarcoding, can be a powerful tool for monitoring marine ...

MONITORING THE MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL IN THE CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN SEA

The Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus was once a common inhabitant of the Mediterranean Sea. Over time, its distribution has experienced a sharp reduction, primarily attributed to various factors stemming from human activities.

Floodplain Conservation Versus Landscape Development—How to Tackle the Multifunctional Management Issue

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The ability to perform a number of ecosystem functions is degraded by the inappropriate damming of agricultural floodplains (by levee construction) or by the continuous urban expansion, where flood protection is justified but at the cost of affecting the environmental stability of the wider landscape.

Long‐term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 553-569, March 2026.
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Melusine, Emblem of the Self: The Female Traveler and the Contours of Acceptable Difference

The German Quarterly, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 131-142, Spring 2026.
Abstract Though the foreign roots of Volksbücher such as Thüring von Ringoltingen's Melusine (1457) have long been recognized, these early modern German prose novels are still characterized as insular and folksy. Taking Melusine as an example, this article uses the framework of mobility to offer a new interpretation that posits the Volksbuch as an ...
