Energyscapes pinpoint marine megafauna feeding hotspots in the Mediterranean. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
International audienceOcean giants shape the structure and functioning of marine food webs via trophic top–down controls, landscapes of fear, vertical and horizontal redistribution of nutrients, energy, and matter. Yet, they face threats from overfishing,

Do alien species affect native freshwater megafauna? [PDF]

, 2023
1. Freshwater megafauna species (i.e., animals that can reach a body mass ≥30 kg, including fish, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians) play important roles in freshwater systems (e.g., by influencing habitat structure, trophic dynamics, or the dispersal of

Megafauna extinctions produce idiosyncratic Anthropocene assemblages [PDF]

, 2022
The “trophic downgrading of planet Earth” refers to the systematic decline of the world’s largest vertebrates. However, our understanding of why megafauna extinction risk varies through time and the importance of site- or species-specific factors remain ...

Habitat Use, Residency, and Connectivity of Bull Sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) in the Bazaruto Seascape, Mozambique

Fishes
Bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) are highly mobile coastal predators, whose broad movements complicate conservation planning, particularly in the Western Indian Ocean, where key habitats remain poorly understood.

Climate Change Will Re-draw the Map for Marine Megafauna and the People Who Depend on Them

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Climate change is expected to dramatically alter the distribution of many marine megafauna, impacting the people and economies that depend upon them. We build on the recent literature by developing a framework to describe the effects these changes will ...
