Sea Surface Temperature Modulates Physiological and Immunological Condition of Octopus maya [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Octopus maya is a valuable endemic species of the Yucatán Peninsula (YP). This area can be divided into distinct regions depending on the presence of cold waters associated to upwelling events during spring and summer.

Linking Inferred Laboratory-Derived Temperature Stress to the Immunocompetence of Wild <i>Octopus maya</i> (Mayan Octopus) G.L. Voss & Solís, 1966. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We established a correlation between thermal stress (an aerobic scope proxy) and the immune system in a wild octopus population. This suggests that oxygen capacity–related thermal tolerance may influence immunocompetence in marine species. We highlight potential connections between aerobic scope proxies and immune function.

Assessment of recovery potential for the American horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus): An application of the IUCN green status process

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 11, Page 1175-1199, November 2023., 2023
Abstract According to an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessment (RLA), the American horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus), an iconic coastal species, is at risk of extirpation in some regions within its range where small and vulnerable populations occur.

Predicted distributions and abundances of the sea turtle ‘lost years’ in the western North Atlantic Ocean

Ecography, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 506-517, April 2020., 2020
Oceanic dispersal characterizes the early juvenile life‐stages of numerous marine species of conservation concern. This early stage may be a ‘critical period’ for many species, playing an overriding role in population dynamics. Often, relatively little information is available on their distribution during this period, limiting the effectiveness of ...
