How a Winner Can Also Be a Loser? At‐Sea Vulnerability of a Critically Endangered Endemic Seabird to Climate Change

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The last decades have been marked by a global decline of many migratory species, and predictions are even more alarming when climate change is considered. We investigated the migration patterns and marine habitat selection processes of a critically endangered endemic seabird of the tropical western Indian Ocean, and projected future ...

Contemporary Foraging of the Hawaiian Monk Seal as a Retrospective Lens for Commercial Fishing and Its Relevance to Ecosystem‐Based Fishery Management

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This retrospective analysis explores how historical fishing activity (1948–2009) at French Frigate Shoals (FFS) can be examined in relation to the foraging ecology of Hawaiian monk seals. We bring together fisheries catch records, monk seal demographic information, and ecological studies on prey, competitors, and predators to evaluate ...

Where Are You From? Finding the Origin of the Recently Observed Sprat in Iceland Using a Panel of SNPs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
European sprat can be divided into distinct genetic groups in the NE Atlantic, that is, Norwegian fjords, Baltic Sea and an oceanic component. The species has been increasingly reported in Icelandic waters since 2017. To investigate the source of introduction, Icelandic sprat has been genotyped and analyzed in comparison with existing reference data ...
