Aim Advances in ecological and environmental modelling offer new opportunities for
estimating dynamic habitat suitability for highly mobile species and supporting management …

Aim Human activities are creating conservation challenges for cetaceans. Spatially explicit
risk assessments can be used to address these challenges, but require species distribution …

Management of highly migratory species is reliant on spatially and temporally explicit
information on their distribution and abundance. Satellite telemetry provides time‐series …

Temporal variability in species distribution remains a major source of uncertainty in
managing protected marine species, particularly in ecosystems with significant seasonal or …

Aim Understanding the environmental drivers of movement and habitat use of highly
migratory marine species is crucial to implement appropriate management and conservation …

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 …

Aim Sufficient data to describe spatial distributions of rare and threatened populations are
typically difficult to obtain. For example, there are minimal modern offshore sightings of the …

There is increasing evidence that the distributions of a large number of species are shifting
with global climate change as they track changing surface temperatures that define their …

The lack of comprehensive sighting data sets precludes the application of standard habitat
suitability modeling approaches to predict distributions of the majority of marine mammal …

Marine spatial planning provides a comprehensive framework for managing multiple uses of
the marine environment and has the potential to minimize environmental impacts and …
