Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Assessment of fish diversity in the coastal waters off Nodaedo Island, Tongyeong, Korea using underwater visual census and environmental DNA metabarcoding

Marine Biology, 2022
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a promising method to monitor marine biodiversity. Examining the capacity of eDNA to provide accurate biodiversity measures in species-rich ecosystems such as coastal waters is a prerequisite for their application in long-term monitoring.

High fish richness associated with the southernmost Atlantic coral reef and adjacencies: comments on conservation and management for sustainable use

Neotropical Ichthyology
The subtropical Brazilian reefs are mainly rocky habitats in a transition zone of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, which support a rich ichthyofauna. The recent discovery of the southernmost Atlantic coral reef associated with a rhodolith bed in this ...

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

Length‐Based Spawning Potential Ratio Assessment of Key Species From a Remote Recreational Fishery at Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recreational fisheries in remote regions often operate under limited regulation and data availability, presenting challenges for sustainable management. Diego Garcia, located within the Chagos Marine Protected Area, hosts a unique recreational reef fishery embedded within a highly protected environment. We assessed the stock status of five key

Enhancing fish community monitoring at a cabled observatory by combining environmental DNA and imaging analysis

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cabled multiparametric observatories are sustaining ecological monitoring by collecting long‐term real‐time biological and environmental data. Here, we investigated fish communities by sampling environmental DNA (eDNA) over 4 days near the multiparametric cabled video‐observatory OBSEA (Northwestern Mediterranean Sea).

From occasional records to regular presence: Increasing occurrence of the bastard grunt Pomadasys incisus in the French Ligurian Sea (northwestern Mediterranean)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The bastard grunt Pomadasys incisus (Bowdich, 1825), an Atlantic teleost, has recently been recorded at multiple sites along the French Ligurian Sea. Three juveniles were captured in Villepey Lagoon, while several groups of sub‐adult and adult individuals were observed at Cagnes‐sur‐Mer and Monaco between 2020 and 2024.

Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park: the first comprehensive elasmobranch assessment reveals global hotspot for reef sharks

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
Elasmobranchs are experiencing population declines worldwide because of anthropogenic stressors. Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been shown to benefit mesopredatory species of shark.

Integrating environmental DNA, diving surveys and DNA barcoding to track endangered twaite shad (Alosa fallax) spawning sites

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The twaite shad (A. fallax), an anadromous fish species belonging to the Clupeidae family, has experienced population declines throughout Europe. This decline is attributable to a range of anthropogenic pressures, including migration barriers, environmental pollution, habitat degradation, predation by invasive species and unsustainable fishing
