Environmental DNA illuminates the dark diversity of sharks
In the era of “Anthropocene defaunation,” large species are often no longer detected in
habitats where they formerly occurred. However, it is unclear whether this apparent missing …

Small-scale fisheries catch more threatened elasmobranchs inside partially protected areas than in unprotected areas
Elasmobranchs are heavily impacted by fishing. Catch statistics are grossly underestimated
due to missing data from various fishery sectors such as small-scale fisheries. Marine …
