Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Living on the Edge: Ecological and Evolutionary Dynamics Along Invasion Fronts
Invasion fronts are non‐equilibrium edges where density declines and trait differentiation increases from the core, through a transition zone, to a low‐density, high‐dispersal front. Introductions generate multiple foci and satellite colonies, shaped by environmental filtering, spatial sorting, founder effects, gene flow and expansion load.

ABSTRACT The South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) breeds in dense colonies along the Peruvian coast, mostly within protected areas managed by the Servicio Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas por el Estado (SERNANP). To support responsible wildlife tourism near breeding sites, we evaluated the behavioral responses to controlled ...

A Global Compilation of Blue Whale Strandings
ABSTRACT Marine mammal strandings are common occurrences that attract public and scientific interest. Stranding data can provide important information for rarely sighted species, but while regional and national stranding databases do exist in some areas, cross‐database communication and data sharing are limited.
