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

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

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 ...

Catch Me If You Can: Assessing Sampling Techniques for Threatened Floodplain Wetland Fish
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Floodplain wetlands are declining globally in extent and ecological condition. Changing climates, increasing agricultural activity and invasive species are among the key threats contributing to biodiversity loss, with native fish species increasingly in decline and listed as threatened or endangered. Floodplain wetlands present unique sampling

Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.Abstract The marine aquarium trade (MAT) is a significant global industry harvesting millions of wild‐caught, live coral reef fishes for public and private aquaria markets in the United States and Europe annually, while supporting fisher livelihoods in the Indo‐Pacific.

High resolution data reveal fundamental steps and turns in animal movements
Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract Animal movement paths display substantial complexity and variability, promoting efforts to identify universal rules and models that best describe them. Using high‐resolution (≥10 Hz) movement from 43 vertebrate species spanning diverse taxa, body sizes, and lifestyles, we show that paths are universally composed of straight‐line steps ...
