Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Indigenous Knowledge systems contain deep, place‐based ecological insights developed over generations but remain underrepresented in biodiversity assessments and conservation planning. This study explores yulendji Bunwurrung (Bunurong knowledge) through five Stories shared by a Bunurong Elder, using thematic analysis and comparison with contemporary ...

Examining the efficacy of a sanctuary to protect sharks in the Galapagos Marine Reserve
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract In 2016, Ecuador established a no‐take marine sanctuary in the northern portion of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR), ostensibly to protect sharks. Arguably because of this, experimental longlining was permitted in the rest of the reserve as part of a compensation package to local fishers. Considering this agreement and very low bycatch rates

, 2022 Many shark species (Class Chondrichthyes) are threatened with extinction due to overfishing. Of the >1,000 described Chondrichthyan species, the pelagic thresher sharks (Alopias pelagicus) are of particular conservation priority since they are evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Climate vulnerability in sharks and rays is unevenly distributed across habitats and ecological groups, reflecting differences in exposure pathways and biological constraints. Using an updated application of the Integrated Risk Assessment for Climate Change (IRACC) framework, we conducted a global reassessment of climate vulnerability for 95 ...

Age and growth of the bigeye thresher shark,Alopias superciliosus, from the pelagic longline fisheries in the tropical northeastern Atlantic Ocean, determined by vertebral band counts [PDF]
Aquatic Living Resources, 2011 The bigeye thresher, Alopias supercilious, is commonly caught as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries tar- geting swordfish. Little information is yet available on the biology of this species, however. As part of an ongoing study, observers sent aboard fishing vessels have been collecting set of information that includes samples of vertebrae, with the
