Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony-specific population trajectories at South Georgia. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Efficacy of an Online Weight Loss Program for Mexican Adults: Findings From a Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]

Obes Sci Pract
ABSTRACT Background Obesity is a major public health crisis in Mexico. With internet usage rapidly increasing, digital health interventions present a clear opportunity for treating obesity. This study addressed a key gap in research by evaluating a web‐based Intensive Lifestyle Modification intervention adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program for ...

Spatial segregation and bycatch risk as potential drivers of population trends of wandering albatrosses at South Georgia. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Characterizing Geomorphology of Mesophotic Coral Reef Ecosystems in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico: Implications for Conservation and Management

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth and are presently experiencing severe declines globally. Shallow coral reef ecosystems (<30 m) have been studied extensively while mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCE) are poorly studied.

Strengthening community-based fisheries monitoring programs with Indigenous perspectives. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Community‐based monitoring (CBM) programs are increasingly recognized as essential for adaptive environmental stewardship. Yet, the CBM literature often highlights successful cases and privileges evaluations by external experts over those of community members themselves.

Fine Characterization of the Contact Zones of <i>Mazzaella laminarioides</i> in the Southeastern Pacific Using Mitochondrial and Nuclear Markers. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the genetic structure of Mazzaella laminarioides, an ecologically and economically important species from the rocky coast of Chile. Using more accurate sampling and a set of microsatellite, nuclear, and mitochondrial markers, we were able to identify with high resolution the contact zones between the previously described ...

Evidence for a fisher-designed solution to manta and devil ray bycatch in tuna fisheries. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Bycatch in global tropical tuna purse seine fisheries represents a significant source of mortality for manta and devil rays (mobulids), which are globally threatened. Use of best handling and rapid release practices on purse seine vessels can substantially reduce mortality and improve vulnerability status for mobulids.

Key drivers of at-vessel mortality in demersal sharks. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Chondrichthyans are highly vulnerable to fisheries overexploitation, and postcapture mortality poses a significant threat to most species. Global bycatch mitigation guidelines recommend adopting hierarchical decision‐making approaches tailored to species‐specific vulnerabilities and socioeconomic and regulatory contexts.
