How many cows are in the desert? Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation of the genus Gyriosomus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae) from the Atacama Desert

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The newly systematic rearrangement of Gyriosomus recognizes 9 clades, validates 21 taxonomical species and suggests 12 synonyms and 12 species candidates. Three taxonomical species were not evaluated. Polymorphisms, convergences and crypsis have been detected, and therefore morphology‐based taxonomy should be approached with caution. Ecological drivers

An Online Survey of Public Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions Toward Whales and Dolphins, and Their Conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
In 2015, an online survey was conducted to investigate public attitudes and perceptions toward key cetacean (whale, dolphin, and porpoise) conservation and “hot topic” issues such as legislative protection and whaling (n = 858).

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Estimating the success of protected areas for the vaquita, Phocoena sinus [PDF]

Marine Mammal Science, 2011
AbstractBycatch in artisanal gill nets threatens the vaquita, Phocoena sinus, with extinction. In 2008 the Mexican government announced a conservation action plan for this porpoise, with three options for a protected area closed to gill net fishing. The probability of success of each of the three options was estimated with a Bayesian population model ...

Limited genomic signatures of population collapse in the critically endangered black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
Abstract The black abalone, Haliotis cracherodii, is a large, long‐lived marine mollusc that inhabits rocky intertidal habitats along the coast of California and Mexico. In 1985, populations were impacted by a bacterial disease known as withering syndrome (WS) that wiped out >90% of individuals, leading to the closure of all U.S.

Genomic Signatures and Demographic History of the Widespread and Critically Endangered Yellow‐Breasted Bunting

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Population declines may have long‐term genetic consequences, including genetic erosion and inbreeding depression, which could affect species' evolutionary potential and increase their risk of extinction. Small populations are more vulnerable to genetic threats than common species, but even species with large populations can also be at risk of ...

Measuring impact of digital conservation campaigns using culturomics

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2025.
Conservation campaigns increasingly use digital media to shape attitudes and engagement, but measuring their impact remains challenging. We used conservation culturomics and a synthetic control approach to evaluate Wikipedia engagement with topics from two digital campaigns, finding increased engagement for locally targeted topics in regional languages.

Dynamic benthic oxygen fluxes lessen hypoxia effects on open continental shelves

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 2998-3015, October 2025.
Abstract Under the supposition that organisms inhabiting physically dynamic marine environments are better able to survive hypoxic conditions than those experiencing little turbulent or advective augmentation of oxygen fluxes, we evaluated summertime benthic macrofauna communities, in situ aquatic eddy covariance measurements, and ex situ sediment core
