🌐🧪🦤 Considering prey availability has the exciting potential to improve marine conservation efforts, as evidenced in this case study modeling the habitat of critically endangered North Atlantic #RightWhales. #OceanScience #Maine #ProtectOurOceans #BluePlanet. bit.ly/esr_58_67

🌐🧪🦤 We reveal that #AtlanticSturgeon #Acipenseroxyrinchus produce low frequency thunder-like sounds associated with #spawning, similar to #lakesturgeon #Acipenserfulvescens. This finding lays the groundwork for passive acoustic monitoring of this endangered species. bit.ly/esr_58_1

🌐🧪🦤 Various aspects of biology of the #olm #Proteus anguinus, an endangered cave #salamander, including its reproductive biology remain a mystery. Our study explores ways to identify their sex, a key step towards establishing captive reproduction and conserving the species. bit.ly/esr_57_453

🌐🧪🦤 New paper finds the globally important populations of wandering, black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses at South Georgia have decreased by 39-66% in just 32-40 years, caused mainly by bycatch in fisheries or climate change. bit.ly/esr_57_437

🌐🧪🦤 Citizen science data shows humans are responsible for most #SeaTurtle deaths and injuries in the #RedSea. Large cities and the nesting season are more dangerous for sea turtles. bit.ly/esr_57_313

🌐🧪🦤 The #ArabianBustard of Africa’s #Sahel has collapsed in range and numbers, and is now moderately common only in #Chad, #Eritrea, #Djibouti and #Ethiopia. Hunting for sport and habitat loss to livestock and agriculture are major threats.

🐢🦤🌐🧪 New paper! We reviewed all male sea turtle tracking studies to date, revealing key behaviors—some unique to males! We highlight major knowledge gaps and set priorities to guide future research on this overlooked half of the population. #spatialecology #biologging #seaturtles. bit.ly/esr_57_273

Large areas are being closed to fishing gear to reduce entanglements of #CriticallyEndangered #NorthAtlanticRightWhales in #Canada. By quantifying risk, we provide first evidence of the closures to meet this goal, informing effective conservation management. bit.ly/esr_57_143

🧪🌐🦤 Environmental DNA analysis helps identify priority areas for #Sawfish conservation in #CostaRica. bit.ly/esr_57_161

🦤🌐🧪🦑 Port Everglades dredging can disturb contaminated sediments potentially affecting the nearby queen conch aggregation. Imposex females had a reduced amount of developed ovarian tissue and a lower density of ganglion cells. bit.ly/esr_57_1

🦤🧪🌐🦑 16 yr of aerial surveys & photo-ID, reveal positive trends for #SeaTurtle off #ReunionIsland. Juveniles dominate, site fidelity is strong, but habitat loss impacts distribution. These insights assist in conservation and assessing coastal ecosystem health. bit.ly/esr_56_323

Extended operating hours of an aquarium during the peak tourist season result in temporary threshold shifts (TTS) in an Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, with approximately 41% of the observed auditory thresholds showing an elevation exceeding 20 dB. bit.ly/esr_56_305

🌐🧪🦤 Calls from #endangered #NorthPacificRightWhales were detected in passes of eastern #AleutianIslands & northern #GulfofAlaska. With <50 animals in the eastern population, these findings could inform the revision of their critical habitat. bit.ly/esr_56_277

🛰️ Satellites to the rescue? Not quite yet! Constant cloud cover and poor visibility make satellite counts of breeding critically endangered Tristan albatross unreliable. Until tech catches up, field teams on Gough Island remain essential. 🏝️🕊️ 🌐 🦤 #AlbatrossesFromSpace. bit.ly/esr_56_187

🌐🧪🦤 We show that #LeatherbackTurtles on #BiokoIsland have below-average #NestingSuccess rates, addressing data gaps in the southeastern #Atlantic and informing the #Conservation of leatherbacks at a globally significant #NestingSite. bit.ly/esr_56_145

Despite high blue whale pregnancy rates, mother-calf pairs are rarely seen. @trevorabranch.bsky.social proposes a solution: most calves are born immediately after mothers depart summer feeding grounds (with field studies) but weaned just before returning. bit.ly/esr_56_63 @bluewhalenews.bsky.social

!! We are currently experiencing technical issues that may be affecting general access to our Inter-Research website. We are working to resolve them as soon as possible. !!

🧪 🌐 🦤 Hawaiian #monkseals trained to perform voluntary #hearing tests confirm unexpectedly limited terrestrial and underwater hearing abilities for this endangered species, a finding that aligns with their evolutionary and geographic isolation. bit.ly/esr_56_19

40 endangered #ocelots were captured on field cameras at #LagunaAtascosa National Wildlife Refuge stretching across a landmark 10-year study—evidence of this elusive species’ persistence in South Texas and the need for ongoing monitoring to continue. bit.ly/esr_55_261

#PygmyBluetongueLizard face climate-induced extinction without active conservation management. Here, we used MaxEnt and field surveys to assess suitability of potential translocation sites southerly of their current range. bit.ly/esr_55_315
