The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.We present an approach for estimating wildlife abundance from unstructured aerial surveys. We combine a spatial model for count data with auxiliary information on detection probability. This framework is intended to be flexible, requiring lower survey costs and less computation time than other alternatives for estimating abundance.

Ocurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis, Natterer, 1883) [PDF]
Biotemas, 2007 The apicomplexa protozoa Cryptosporidium infects several mammals, including terrestrial and aquatic species. In the epidemiology of this infection, the ingestion of water and/or food contamined with oocysts comprises the main mechanism of transmission to

Do Marine Mammals Diversify More Slowly Than Non‐Marine Mammals?
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Species richness is generally lower in marine than in terrestrial ecosystems, but the reasons behind this disparity remain unclear. This study examines whether marine mammals diversify at a slower pace than their non‐marine counterparts, aiming to shed light on the factors explaining potential diversification differences among them ...

Multi‐Scale Habitat Selection of Greater Caribbean Manatees in Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Habitat selection describes population distribution as a function of environmental features. It is a fundamental process with primordial ecological and evolutionary implications. To accurately describe habitat selection, it is important to identify temporal and spatial scales perceived by the population and use these scales when modeling ...

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.
