Characterization of salmon‐foraging harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Erimo region, Hokkaido, Japan, using finite mixture models

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Climate Change Impacts on Antarctic Fish Diversity: A Circumpolar Perspective From eDNA Metabarcoding Assessment

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Recent climate‐driven changes in the Antarctic marine environment, marked by regional differences between West and East Antarctica, may alter ecosystem dynamics. As key components of the food web, fish might reflect these changes. This study examines fish biodiversity patterns across four typical Antarctic seas by integrating eDNA analysis

THE DEEPWATER BONY FISH FAUNA FROM THE LATE BADENIAN (SERRAVALLIAN) OF WALBERSDORF, AUSTRIA - RECONSTRUCTED WITH OTOLITHS

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
Otolith associations have been extensively described from the Badenian (Langhian to early Serravallian) of the Central Paratethys. During the late Badenian (early Serravallian), the basin was strongly segmented, and the faunal composition of its biota ...

Comparison of traditional and molecular surveys of fish biodiversity in southern Te Wāhipounamu/Fiordland (Aotearoa/New Zealand)

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
At the remote UNESCO Word Heritage Site Te Wāhipounamu, we show that eDNA analysis is a highly sensitive tool with strong potential for biodiversity surveys, which is still limited by the unavailability of local reference data. We hope that by demonstrating the extend of divergence between eDNA and more traditional tools in a real‐life case study of a ...
