From reels to research: Motivations and concerns of billfish citizen science participants
Abstract Citizen science facilitates cost‐effective ecological data collection at much larger scales than would otherwise be feasible. This is particularly useful for the study of highly migratory species with broad distributions, such as billfishes.

We show that regionally endothermic shortfin mako sharks have enhanced thermoregulatory ability with an order higher warming rate than cooling rate during repeated dives, likely optimizing foraging efficiency. This ability, only comparable to bigeye tuna and swordfish in teleosts, represents the key adaptive significance of regional endothermy in ...

Into the Deep: Origins and Evolution of Northeastern Pacific Ocean Tuna (Thunnus spp.) Fisheries
ABSTRACT People have had a profound influence on Earth's biodiversity for millennia, culminating in Anthropocene environmental degradation and the modern biodiversity crisis. While the scale and extent of people's long‐term influence on Earth's biodiversity in terrestrial and nearshore marine ecosystems are relatively well studied, there are ...
