Community Awareness and Evidence of Dugong (Dugong dugon) Presence in Anjouan, Comoros
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The dugong (Dugong dugon), listed as Vulnerable globally, is poorly documented in the Western Indian Ocean, including the Comoros. We combined Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) to assess occurrence and reported encounters around the island of Anjouan.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Drone photogrammetry provides a minimally invasive morphometric tool to assess growth and energy reserve in marine mammals. Converting drone‐derived measurements (e.g., body width) into body condition indices (BCIs, residuals from expected body girth, volume, or mass) requires prior knowledge of normative body shape. We developed and validated

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2124-2150, August 2026.Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.
