چکیده
Essential fish habitats (EFHs) are critical for life-history events, including spawning, breeding, feeding or growth. This study provides evidence of EFHs the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) in waters around Orkney Isles, Scotland, based on citizen-science observation data. The potential egg-laying sites were parametrised as >20 m depth, with boulders exposed bedrock, moderate current flow (0.3–2.8 knots) low sedimentation. information a significant contribution to understanding skate.

Exploiting the closest productive area: geographical segregation of foraging grounds in a critically endangered seabird
While breeding, seabirds are limited to exploiting resources within a restricted area around their breeding site and should exploit the closest productive marine areas within their distribution range. We investigated this hypothesis in one of the most endangered European seabirds, the Balearic shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus (ca. 3200 breeding pairs), restricted to the Balearic Islands. Our ai...
متن کاملMolecular markers reveal spatially segregated cryptic species in a critically endangered fish, the common skate (Dipturus batis).
Many sharks and skates are particularly vulnerable to overfishing because of their large size, slow growth, late maturity and low fecundity. In Europe dramatic population declines have taken place in common skate (Dipturus batis L.), one of the largest demersal fish in regional shelf seas, leading to extirpations from substantial parts of its former range. Here we report the discovery of crypti...
متن کاملApplication of environmental DNA to detect an endangered marine skate species in the wild
Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques have only recently been applied in the marine environment to detect the presence of marine species. Species-specific primers and probes were designed to detect the eDNA of the endangered Maugean skate (Zearaja maugeana) from as little as 1 L of water collected at depth (10-15 m) in Macquarie Harbour (MH), Tasmania. The identity of the eDNA was confirmed as Z....
متن کاملPhylogenetic diversity of endangered and critically endangered southeast Asian softshell turtles (Trionychidae: Chitra)
The intense exploitation of turtles in Asian markets has contributed to declines in turtle populations across the continent. Threequarters of Asia’s turtles are threatened and half are endangered. A recent workshop on the Asian turtle crisis identified taxonomic studies of widespread species as a priority for research because these low risk species may include unrecognized, narrowly distributed...
