Eigenvector map** techniques are widely used by ecologists and evolutionary biologists
to describe and control for spatial and/or phylogenetic patterns in their data. The selection of …

The accelerating rate of the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) and the magnitude
of ship** traffic make the Mediterranean Sea a hotspot of biological invasions. For the …

This paper provides an overview of the current status and future potentials of nature-based
tourism in the Sultanate of Oman with particular focus on sea turtles at Ras Al Hadd. The …

Aim Accurate predictions of cetacean distributions are essential to their conservation but are
limited by statistical challenges and a paucity of data. This study aimed at comparing the …

Sources of data other than those derived from conventional research protocols may
contribute valuable information to fill gaps in knowledge about cetacean occurrences and …

Presence‐only data are typical occurrence information used in species distribution
modelling. Data may be originated from different sources, and their integration is a …

We present a novel system of drifting pelagic baited stereo‐video cameras that operate in
deep‐water, topographically complex environments typically considered inaccessible for …

One of the lesser known species of baleen whales, the Bryde's whale, also known as Eden's
whale (Balaenoptera edeni edeni and B. edeni brydei), although hunted as part of a North …

Aim Selecting informative variables is crucial for species distribution modelling and
ecological studies in general. Proxies quantifying water accumulation may have suitable …

Models for predicting marine mammal habitat are increasingly being developed to help
answer questions about species' ecology, conservation, and management. Over the past 10 …
