Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Residency and Space Use of Endangered Smoothhound Sharks (Mustelus mustelus) in Relation to Marine Protection and Demersal Longline Fishing Along South Africa's South Coast

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shark populations are declining globally and the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a conservation tool may vary by species and environmental context. This study assessed space use and residency of smoothhound sharks (Mustelus mustelus)—an endangered, yet highly exploited shark—in relation to spatial protection and fishing risk ...

The demography of an Osprey population under natural recolonisation and translocation processes

Ibis, EarlyView.
In a context of global biodiversity loss, studying the processes underlying the recolonisation—whether natural or assisted—of expanding species provides essential insights for the development of effective conservation strategies. Since the 1980s, the Osprey Pandion haliaetus has naturally recolonized mainland central and eastern France, increasing from

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...

Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.
