This study uses social media data to identify supplementary feeding areas for Eastern Australian humpback whales, finding three recurrent candidate areas and supporting the idea of recurrent supplementary feeding.

The paper evaluates co-occurrence networks from eDNA metabarcoding data to infer species interactions in a coastal marine ecosystem, finding limited trophic interactions and methodological challenges.

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to track spatiotemporal changes in prey species for marine mammals in a Scottish MPA, revealing patterns in forage fish abundance and predator-prey spatial partitioning.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of using commercial ferries to collect marine eDNA samples, enabling systematic biodiversity surveys in hard-to-reach areas.

The paper develops qPCR assays to detect monk seal eDNA in Mediterranean waters, showing their ability to anticipate recolonization and track distribution patterns.
