On Australia’s east coast, scientists from Australian Rivers Institute and Queensland Science have confirmed the identity of a cryptic #Endangered #lamprey species 1400 km north of its previous known range -  this is the first truly tropical lamprey in the world! 🐟. bit.ly/esr_53_547

Sawfish are highly threatened with steep declines observed globally. The study reviews past and present records of #Sawfish from India to document trends in abundance, distribution, interactions with fisheries, and utilization. bit.ly/esr_53_523

#SeaTurtle plasma samples were analyzed using a newly-developed test! Scientists at New England Aquarium's #AndersonCabotCenter tested samples from turtles affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill and found abnormal hormone levels. bit.ly/esr_53_533

#Chilika has the highest density of #FishingCats recorded globally, which can be attributed to its high fish richness and abundance. The local fishermen community helped implement the density estimation exercise through camera trapping in this landscape. bit.ly/esr_54_1

This review reports—focusing on Peru—on the fishery, commerce, traditional use, life-history, ecology, and management of the #PacificGuitarfish. We provide recommendations to promote the conservation of this over-exploited species. bit.ly/esr_54_123

Endangered giant #LeatherbackTurtles depend on waters all around Australia - who knew? Just published study evaluates 30 years of leatherback sightings, strandings, and fishery interactions. bit.ly/esr_54_83

#Beluga distribution inferred from oxygen and stable carbon isotopes in dentine corroborates current stock definitions in the #CanadianArctic, supporting sustainable hunt management and monitoring of ecological impacts of climate change. bit.ly/4ecvJsf

Glider-recorded detections of North Atlantic right, blue, and fin whales highlight that their presence in the seasonally important Gulf of St. Lawrence co-occurs with a high volume of vessel traffic, increasing their risk of ship strike. bit.ly/esr_54_191

Despite global concerns around declining body size of nesting turtles, conservation measures in the Seychelles have promoted hawksbill turtle survival, growth, and ultimately enhanced the reproductive output of the entire population. bit.ly/esr_54_167

A genetic study on humpback whales from Guerrero in the Southern Pacific, Mexico, suggests that these whales constitute a transitional unit between Mainland and Central America Distinct Population Segments. bit.ly/esr_54_219

#StableIsotopeAnalysis of 2 #HammerheadSharks indicates that the western #ArabianGulf likely serves as a key feeding ground for neonates and juveniles of the #GreatHammerhead. #ScallopedHammerhead appear to have a low reliance on this region. bit.ly/esr_54_277

Underwater soundscapes of #HawaiianMonkSeal critical habitats are composed of biophony, geophony, and anthrophony, but are dominated by biological sources including snapping shrimp, fish, and seals. bit.ly/esr_54_311

#FlatbackTurtles love nesting on mainland and non-coral cay islands. #GreenTurtles and #LoggerheadTurtles choose coral cays. 🐢🌊 Understanding these nesting habits helps us protect these incredible creatures from climate change and human impact. 🌿💚 bit.ly/esr_54_353

New study on foraging #GreenSeaTurtles from #WestAfrica highlights strong regional connectivity along the Atlantic coast of Africa, and transatlantic links. bit.ly/esr_54_365

#SouthernSeaOtters at #AñoNuevo reside at the edge of their range in #California, where expansion into historical habitat is stalled. Lyon et al. examined sea otter #ForagingEcology and PopulationDensity to gain insight into this phenomenon. bit.ly/esr_54_383

New study highlighting eastern #NorthPacificRightWhale sightings over the last 18 years suggests an increase in sightings and sheds light on movement and important habitat. bit.ly/esr_54_427

#EmperorPenguin colonies differ in habitat characteristics. Local environmental changes can have colony-specific consequences such as relocation. Habitat quality must be assessed based on complex dynamics of fast ice rather than total sea-ice. bit.ly/esr_55_1
