Trends in Marine Mammal Bycatch in US Fisheries From 1990 to 2017
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT Bycatch is the greatest threat facing marine mammals globally. In the United States (US), there have been significant efforts to reduce marine mammal bycatch in commercial fisheries, particularly through the implementation of the 1994 amendments to the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 12, Page 1-20, December 2024.ABSTRACT Effective conservation strategies inherently depend on preserving populations, which in turn requires accurate tools for their detection. Beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) inhabit the circumpolar Arctic and form discrete summer aggregations.

An assessment of potential interventions to reduce the totoaba illegal trade market
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.Abstract The illegal trade in totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi) is causing adverse social, ecological, and economic impacts. This illegal activity is accelerating the overexploitation of totoaba and pushing the critically endangered vaquita (Phocoena sinus) closer to extinction.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 5, July 2024.Abstract The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a highly polymorphic gene family that is crucial in immunity, and its diversity can be effectively used as a fitness marker for populations. Despite this, MHC remains poorly characterised in non‐model species (e.g., cetaceans: whales, dolphins and porpoises) as high gene copy number variation ...

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 4, July/August 2024.Abstract Coordinated policies and effective global environmental governance are needed to address the global biodiversity crisis. Human dimensions like geopolitics influence conservation decision‐making and outcomes. The importance of considering these complex social factors is heightened in an era of renewed great‐power politics, as the intensifying ...
