Prioritizing future evidence needs for marine and freshwater mammal conservation action

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
To improve conservation practice, decisions should be informed by the available evidence on the effectiveness of conservation actions. Here, we review the comprehensiveness of this evidence base for marine and freshwater mammals. We assess the taxonomic and geographic coverage of the evidence base, identify biases and suggest priorities for future ...

Unobserved Individual and Population Level Impacts of Fishing Gear Entanglements on North Atlantic Right Whales

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We analyzed 28 years of North Atlantic right whale photo‐identification, health, and entanglement assessments to estimate the impacts of fishing gear entanglements on female right whale fecundity and population trajectory. We developed a hidden Markov model that accounted for key uncertainties regarding each right whale's survival, reproduction ...

Microhaplotype Methods Enable Relationship Inference in a Bottlenecked Mammalian Species

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) are among the most genetically depauperate mammals in the world. A near‐total population bottleneck in the 19th century, coupled with the breeding system of extreme polygyny, has challenged efforts to estimate individual reproductive success with genetic methods.
