🌐🧪🦤 A population assessment and ecological study confirmed that Sulcaria isidiifera is a critically endangered lichen that only occurs on the central coast of California. Translocation was also tested as a potential conservation measure to protect this rare lichen. bit.ly/esr_58_103

🌐🧪🦤 Automated cameras in remote field sites captured breeding data for at-risk #doublecrestedcormorant in #StraitofGeorgia #BritishColumbia. Multievent capture-recapture models were used to understand negative effects on nest success across entire breeding season. bit.ly/esr_58_85

🌐🧪🦤 Using DNA from skin samples, age (1–45 yr) and sex of Lahille’s bottlenose #dolphins in Brazil were estimated. With <600 left, this non-invasive #epigenetic tool aids survival predictions and #conservation 🧬🐬. bit.ly/esr_58_137

🌐🧪🦤 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
North Atlantic right whales “Arpeggio” (Catalog #2753) and Catalog #4617 pass by each other while skim feeding in the Great South Channel in February 2024

🌐🧪🦤 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
Three photos of South Georgia Albatrosses. Two of the images show an albatross standing behind their chick in a nest and the middle image shows a standing albatross with a red ring on one leg and a yellow ring on the other.

🌐🧪🦤 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
