Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Gluconeogenesis in the yolk syncytial layer‐like tissue of cloudy catshark (Scyliorhinus torazame)
Physiological ReportsGlucose has important roles in the development of zebrafish, the vertebrate animal model; however, in most oviparous animals, the amount of maternally provided glucose in the yolk is scarce.
