Key questions in marine megafauna movement ecology
It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities
for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on …

Transferring biodiversity models for conservation: Opportunities and challenges
After decades of extensive surveying, knowledge of the global distribution of species still
remains inadequate for many purposes. In the short to medium term, such knowledge is …

Global collision-risk hotspots of marine traffic and the world's largest fish, the whale shark
Marine traffic is increasing globally yet collisions with endangered megafauna such as
whales, sea turtles, and planktivorous sharks go largely undetected or unreported …

Climate-driven global redistribution of an ocean giant predicts increased threat from ship**
Climate change is shifting animal distributions. However, the extent to which future global
habitats of threatened marine megafauna will overlap existing human threats remains …

Geographic range size, water temperature, and extrinsic threats predict the extinction risk in global cetaceans
Despite the fact that cetaceans provide significant ecological contributions to the health and
stability of aquatic ecosystems, many are highly endangered with nearly one‐third of …

Modelling the oceanic habitats of two pelagic species using recreational fisheries data
Defining the oceanic habitats of migratory marine species is important for both single
species and ecosystem‐based fisheries management, particularly when the distribution of …

Wound-healing capabilities of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) and implications for conservation management
Wound healing is important for marine taxa such as elasmobranchs, which can incur a
range of natural and anthropogenic wounds throughout their life history. There is evidence …

Modelling Critically Endangered marine species: Bias‐corrected citizen science data inform habitat suitability for the angelshark (Squatina squatina)
As an increasingly important resource in ecological research, citizen scientists have proven
dynamic and cost‐effective in the supply of data for use within habitat suitability models. With …
