Seahorses (Hippocampus spp.) are threatened as a result of habitat degradation and
overfishing. They have commercial value as traditional medicine, curio objects, and pets in …

Nomenclatural clarity is vital for the collection, dissemination, and retrieval of natural history
information, which itself is necessary for effective conservation and management of species …

Anthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems are increasing worldwide, causing loss of
biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and driving species towards risk of extinction. To …

Temperature is a determinant cue for several behavioral, physiological, and metabolic
processes in fish, which occur within a range set to optimize species fitness. Understanding …

Accurate taxonomy, population demography, and habitat descriptors inform species threat
assessments and the design of effective conservation measures. Here we combine …

Diverging semi-isolated lineages either meet in narrow clinal hybrid zones, or have a
mosaic distribution associated with environmental variation. Intrinsic reproductive isolation is …

Simple Summary Seahorses are iconic species facing population decline due to human
action. Knowledge about seahorse distribution in Europe, particularly along the southwest …

We investigated the population dynamics of a highly clonal marine angiosperm, Cymodocea
nodosa, in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, to identify the historical dynamics, demography …

Understanding spatial heterogeneity in reproductive success among at-risk populations
facing localised threats is key for conservation. Sea turtle populations often concentrate at …

This study investigated aspects of the population ecology of the endangered Knysna
seahorse Hippocampus capensis within different habitat types. High densities of H. capensis …
