A Review of the Status of Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras of Panama to Guide Research and Conservation

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are a group of high conservation concern globally. Species are impacted by varying threats, although fishing pressure is the primary stressor causing population declines. Panama comprises both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines with a diversity of estuarine and marine habitats supporting small ...

Fishers' interactions with endangered “rhinorays” in Karimunjawa National Park, and factors influencing willingness to engage in pro‐conservation behavior

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The “rhinorays” (giant guitarfish‐Glaucostegidae and wedgefish‐Rhinidae) are a critically endangered group of “shark‐like rays,” which have experienced steep global population declines in the past decade due to overfishing. Their slow life histories and high market value increase the risk of trade‐driven extinction and lead to trade‐offs ...

Continental‐Scale Assessment of Climate‐Driven Marine Species Range Extensions Using a Decade of Citizen Science Data

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate‐driven extensions of species distributions have serious consequences for human wellbeing and ecosystems. The recent growth of citizen science data collection represents an underutilised resource for the early detection of marine species range extensions (i.e., expansion of species' distributions at the poleward edge) that can ...

Balancing ecotourism and wildlife management through a conservation behavior approach

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We surveyed ecologists, conservationists, and ecotourism professionals to investigate consequences of ecotourism on animal behavior. We highlight four main behavioral themes and solutions for engendering more sustainable ecotourism that mitigates behavioral impacts.

Eocene Shark Teeth From Peninsular Antarctica: Windows to Habitat Use and Paleoceanography

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Eocene climate cooling, driven by the falling pCO2 and tectonic changes in the Southern Ocean, impacted marine ecosystems. Sharks in high‐latitude oceans, sensitive to these changes, offer insights into both environmental shifts and biological responses, yet few paleoecological studies exist.
