Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study reports the first scientific record of the spotted eagle ray Aetobatus ocellatus within a mangrove embayment in the Republic of the Maldives, documented through drone‐based observations. We observed four individuals, including one juvenile, that we recorded using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), highlighting mangrove habitats as potential ...

A genomic test of sex-biased dispersal in white sharks
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesMitonuclear discordance has been observed in several shark species. Female philopatry has often been invoked to explain such discordance but has never been explicitly tested. Here, we focus on the white shark, for which female philopatry has been previously proposed, and produced a chromosome-level genome, high-coverage whole-genome autosomal, and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.A predictable winter aggregation of dwarf minke whales occurs annually in the Great Barrier Reef, where interannual site fidelity has been documented in adults but not previously in calves. Comparison of all photographed calves from 2003 to 2023 with a long‐term photo‐identification catalogue revealed one individual resighted from calf to adulthood ...

Facial Recognition Analyses Reveal Social Networks of Co‐Occurrence at Harbor Seal Haul‐Out Sites
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.By implementing the use of a non‐invasive, facial recognition software, SealNet 2.0, we have provided evidence of strong site fidelity and persistent networks of co‐occurring individuals in a wild harbor seal population. SealNet 2.0 provides an open‐source tool for the estimation of ecological measures such as site fidelity and connectivity, habitat ...

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Squids are important components of marine ecosystems because of their role as both predator and prey. Across the Tasman Sea, Gould's arrow squid (Nototodarus gouldi) is a commercially targeted ommastrephid squid that supports an economically important fishery.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Cephalopods play crucial roles in marine ecosystems due to their diverse and indispensable contributions to trophic webs. However, parasitological research on cephalopods remains limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), despite the commercial significance of certain squid species and the zoonotic potential of the parasites within them. This study aimed to
