Abstract Sharks and rays are key functional components of coral reef ecosystems, yet many populations a few species exhibit signs depletion local extinctions. The question is whether these declines forewarn global extinction crisis. We use IUCN Red List to quantify the status, trajectory, threats all sharks worldwide. Here, we show that nearly two-thirds (59%) 134 coral-reef associated shark ray threatened with extinction. Alongside marine mammals, among most groups found on reefs....
Abstract Overfishing remains a threat to coral reef fishes worldwide, with large carnivores often disproportionately vulnerable. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can restore fish populations and biodiversity, but their effect has been understudied in mesophotic ecosystems (MCEs), particularly the Coral Triangle. Videos were analysed from baited remote underwater video systems deployed 2016 investigate assemblage structure of carnivorous at shallow (4–12 m) (45–96 depths two largest most...
Global marine mammal research is disproportionately lacking compared to terrestrial and strongly biased toward populations in Europe, North America, New Zealand, Australia. With high extinction risks facing mammals the tropics, we sought identify potential drivers of effort risk evaluations for Philippines as a model tropical island nations with limited resources capacity. Using bibliographic approach, compiled all materials on from 1991 2020, which categorized into eight thematic areas...

For over two centuries there were no records of Blue Whales Balaenoptera musculus in the Philippines. Whalers recorded Philippines 19th century, and next confirmed sighting country was a mother calf 2004. Since then 33 subsequent Whale sightings potentially one individual between 2004 2019, all within central region around Bohol Sea. This individual, recognized through photo-identification, sighted on at least 13 occasions during eight different years: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017,...
