Complete Mitochondrial Genome Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity in the Narrow-Ridged Finless Porpoise (<i>Neophocaena asiaeorientalis</i>) Across East Asian Waters. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The narrow‐ridged finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis Pilleri & Gihr, 1972) is one of the most endangered cetacean species inhabiting East Asian waters. Complete mitogenome analysis offers accurate phylogenetic insights; however, complete mitogenome sequences for the narrow‐ridged finless porpoise have so far been restricted to specific ...

Viability of the vaquita, Phocoena sinus (Cetacea: Phocoenidae) population, threatened by poaching of Totoaba macdonaldi (Perciformes: Sciaenidae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2021
Introduction: Despite extensive science-based conservation policy recommendations, with fewer than 20 individuals remaining, the vaquita (Phocoena sinus) -endemic to the Gulf of California- is the world’s most endangered marine mammal due to incidental ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Distribution of the acoustic occurrence of dolphins during the summers 2011 to 2015 in the Upper Gulf of California, Mexico [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Baseline knowledge of spatial and temporal distribution patterns is essential for cetacean management and conservation. Such knowledge is particularly important in areas where gillnet fishing occurs, as the Upper Gulf of California, which increases the ...

An Economic Perspective on Policies to Save the Vaquita: Conservation Actions, Wildlife Trafficking, and the Structure of Incentives

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The Upper Gulf of California is a diverse and highly productive ecosystem supporting some of the most important fisheries in Mexico, yet a history of weak fisheries management and illegal fishing threaten the area’s biodiversity and undermine human well ...

Whole Genome Analyses of the Endangered Northern Abalone (<i>Haliotis kamtschatkana</i>) Reveal Population Differentiation and a Genomic Signature of a Dramatic Population Decline. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Despite widespread declines of many wildlife species, the effects of population decline on the genome and the recovery potential of affected species are still poorly understood, especially beyond a few charismatic species. The Northern abalone (or Pinto abalone; Haliotis kamtschatkana) is a marine gastropod mollusk of social, cultural and ...

Indirect effects of conservation policies on the coupled human-natural ecosystem of the upper Gulf of California. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
High bycatch of non-target species and species of conservation concern often drives the implementation of fisheries policies. However, species- or fishery-specific policies may lead to indirect consequences, positive or negative, for other species or ...
