Recovery of marine #TopPredators is achievable. Our global review identified 481 success stories. The commonest management measure was bycatch reduction (57%), followed by the establishment of #MPAs (15%) and #InvasiveSpecies management (6%)

What happens to ecosystems when you restore iconic top predators? It's more complicated than you might think. A new study analyzes findings from more than 170 papers to clarify what we know so far about the ecological impacts of large carnivore recovery in North America and what mysteries still remain.

Restoring #TopPredators 🐺 to #NorthAmerican #ecosystems does it help rebalance? Apparently the situation is more complicated… 🌍

Benthopelagic Deep-Sea Food Webs Along a Latitudinal Gradient in the Scotia Sea (Southern Ocean) - Ecosystems Understanding food-web structure is crucial to determine the functioning of ecosystems and sustainably manage resources. The Scotia Sea is an important area for Antarctic krill and toothfish fisheries...

Last April, I presented part of my PhD work exploring the drivers of trophic niche partitioning among pelagic #TopPredators, like swordfish, blue and mako sharks, at the Spanish Elasmobranch Network meeting 🦈

What an opportunity to discuss key topics in #shark and ray research and #conservation!
