Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT When empirical bycatch data are limited, risk‐based assessments offer a valuable tool for identifying areas where marine mammals and fisheries are most likely to interact. The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is among the most vulnerable to incidental capture in gillnet fisheries.

No serological evidence that harbour porpoises are additional hosts of influenza B viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Influenza A and B viruses circulate among humans causing epidemics almost annually. While various hosts for influenza A viruses exist, influenza B viruses have been detected only in humans and seals.

Trends in Aquatic Environmental DNA Research in Alaska
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is an emerging tool with significant potential to advance biomonitoring, particularly in remote and logistically challenging environments. To evaluate the state of eDNA research in Alaska, we conducted a literature review and a regional survey and results provide the first comprehensive overview of eDNA research in ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.This study investigates how boat traffic and environmental factors shape the spatial distribution and habitat selection of Guiana dolphins in a northeastern Brazilian estuary. Although dolphins and boats overlapped broadly—particularly in deeper waters—dolphins showed a preference for areas with lower boat traffic, greater depths, and proximity to ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.Species‐specific eDNA qPCR assays were developed and validated for blue, fin, and sei whales and were tested alongside visual surveys in the northwest Atlantic. Results show strong concordance for fin whales, demonstrating eDNA's value for enhancing offshore monitoring of at‐risk large whales.

Conserving the World's Specialist Riverine Birds
WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Specialist riverine birds constitute a diverse bird group globally, highly adapted to rivers and streams. They are at risk from multiple threats to rivers, riparian zones and river catchments including impoundment, hydropower and abstraction; land‐use changes including urbanization and agricultural intensification; traditional and emerging pollutants ...

Assessing the Underwater Impact of Aerodynamic Noise From Offshore Wind Turbines
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT The growing demand for offshore wind energy has led to a significant increase in wind turbine size and to the development of large‐scale wind farms, often comprising 100–150 turbines. However, the environmental impact of underwater noise emissions remains largely unaddressed.
