Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

An Update on the Occurrence of Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Super‐Groups on the West Coast of South Africa

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) super‐groups, comprising 20+, tightly aggregated, feeding individuals, form during the austral summer in the southern Benguela ecosystem off the west coast of South Africa. This phenomenon, observed since 2011, is thought to be linked to increased productivity from positive chlorophyll‐a anomalies ...

Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopes Show Evidence of Resource Partitioning Between Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris) and Large Pelagic Fishes From the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We applied stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes to investigate the trophic ecology of four large pelagic predators from the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (FNA), northeastern Brazil: spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri), and great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda).

Characterizing Fraser's Dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei) in the Lesser Antilles: Distribution, Movements, and Co‐Occurrence With Other Cetacean Species to Inform Conservation Strategies in the Caribbean

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fraser's dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei) is one of the least studied dolphin species due to its tropical, offshore distribution and low density. However, it is frequently observed in the Lesser Antilles, where we characterized its distribution and ecology using 4 years of data collected from Grenada to Anguilla.

Declining Body Condition of Territorial Male Australian Fur Seals: Correlations With Environmental Variables

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus, AUFS) population, currently less than 47% of its pre‐harvest size, represents the largest resident marine predator biomass in south‐eastern Australia. This region, characterized by low marine productivity and rapid warming, is home to Kanowna Island, the third‐largest AUFS colony ...
