Comparing multiple criteria for species identification in two recently diverged seabirds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Correct species identification is a crucial issue in systematics with key implications for prioritising conservation effort. However, it can be particularly challenging in recently diverged species due to their strong similarity and relatedness.

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.Conservation science struggles with an ongoing divide between research and action. We discussed examples of successful solutions‐oriented avian conservation science. Successes were characterized by communication, collaboration, and co‐development with local communities, decision‐makers, practitioners, and Indigenous communities.

Global Ecology and ConservationHuman pressures in the ocean are restructuring biological communities, driving non-random extinctions, and disrupting marine ecosystem functioning. In particular, fisheries bycatch, the incidental mortality of non-target species, is a major threat to ...

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1134-1150, September 2026.ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.

An assessment of dolphin behaviour and bycatch mitigation techniques in the Pilbara Fish Trawl Fishery, Western Australia [PDF]
, 2009 The incidental capture of unwanted species along with target species is a common and wasteful aspect of many fisheries. Trawl fisheries in particular have a high rate of incidental capture, or bycatch, due to the low selectivity of their nets.

Estimates of total seabird bycatch by Atlantic pelagic longline fisheries from 2003 to 2006 [PDF]
, 2012 Results of recent seabird bycatch studies in the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas Convention Area were combined to estimate total seabird bycatch of pelagic longline fishing in the Atlantic Ocean, and bycatch per selected ...

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 719-732, August 2026.ABSTRACT Bycatch remains a critical challenge in global fisheries, even when using selective gears such as longlines. In the French longline fishery targeting Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the Gulf of Lion, the common pelagic stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea) is the primary bycatch species.

High contrast panels and lights do not reduce bird bycatch in Baltic Sea gillnet fisheries
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Bycatch is a cause of mortality among marine mammals, sea turtles, fish and birds. For some species this mortality may be sufficient to cause population declines.
