A Deep Learning Framework for Cetacean Detection: Integrating YOLOv11 With ADRIF Post‐Processing - G Kuberan; B Reshma; R Sendhil Kumar (Marine Mammal Science, 2026)
Cetaceans are widely regarded as sentinels of marine ecosystem health, yet their monitoring in the Indian Ocean remains challenging because conventional survey techniques often lack adequate spatial and temporal resolution. In this study, we developed and evaluated a deep learning‐based detection framework for cetaceans in Indian waters using high‐resolution imagery collected during research cruises conducted between 2024 and 2025. The framework employs the YOLOv11 object detection architecture, trained and validated on field‐based images of three representative species: Balaenoptera musculus (blue whale), Globicephala macrorhynchus (short‐finned pilot whale), and Stenella longirostris (spinner dolphin). To improve detection reliability, the pipeline integrates ensemble‐ and rule‐based post‐processing strategies, including weighted box fusion (WBF) and a novel adaptive distance‐aware refinement and intelligent fusion (ADRIF) algorithm designed to reduce duplicate detections and false positives in complex marine science applications. The optimized framework achieved a mean average precision (mAP@0.5) of 81.6% and an F 1‐score of 80.05% on the test dataset, demonstrating robust detection performance under variable oceanographic conditions. These results highlight the potential of deep learning–based approaches to enhance the efficiency and consistency of visual cetacean detection from vessel‐based imagery. The proposed framework provides a reproducible methodological foundation for integrating computer vision tools into marine mammal research and future large‐scale monitoring efforts.

Characterization of endogenous pararetroviruses in yam (Dioscorea spp.) genomes revealed four pararetrovirus groups, including a dioscovirus-like lineage: implications for diagnostics and yam germplasm exchange - B. O. Osundahunsi; L. Moshood; O. A. Kolade; B. O. Odu; P. Lava Kumar (Archives of Virology, 2026)
Yams ( Dioscorea spp.) are an important vegetatively propagated food security crop grown for their starchy tubers. Yams are susceptible to several viruses, and their genomes harbor a diverse array of endogenous pararetroviral sequences (EPRVs), which complicate diagnostics and germplasm exchange because of their similarity to episomal viruses. To better characterize EPRV diversity, we analyzed 86 publicly available whole-genome sequences from five Dioscorea species ( D. rotundata , D. alata , D. praehensilis , D. abyssinica , and D. dumetorum ). Assembled genomes were screened for endogenous pararetrovirus sequences (EPRVs) using the CAULIFINDER pipeline, targeting conserved RT/RNase H domains of the Caulimoviridae family. Our analyses revealed four major EPRV groups in D. rotundata : Yendovirus, Badnavirus, Yam Endovirus 1, and a Dioscovirus-like lineage. While most insertions were fragmented, we found full-length putative viral genomes corresponding to the Yam Badnavirus and Dioscovirus-like clades. These findings expand knowledge of yam EPRV diversity, contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools to differentiate endogenous and episomal forms, and promote a science-based, risk-proportionate approach to yam phytosanitation that facilitates global germplasm exchange while maintaining biosecurity.

Purpose Ensuring global food security for a growing population has intensified the reliance on nitrogen (N) fertilizers to maintain high crop yields. However, dependency on N fertilizers has led to increased over-fertilization, declined N use efficiency (NUE), and exacerbated environmental and agronomic challenges. Methods This review synthesised current fertilization practices, N-related policies, and empirical evidence regarding the consequences of excessive or unbalanced N application. Results The environmental consequences of excessive or unbalanced N application included increased soil acidification, fertility decline, crop productivity decline, nitrate contamination and greenhouse gas emissions and highlighted the implications for long-term agricultural sustainability. As a result, a set of integrated strategies was proposed to enhance NUE while safeguarding soil health and included precision agriculture implementation, cover cropping, microbial inoculation, conservation tillage and organic amendment application. Practical limitations and contextual barriers to adoption, particularly in smallholder-dominated systems, were also examined and actionable recommendations in policy, research and extension were outlined. Special emphasis was placed on the role of inclusive and farmer centric extension services where farmer voices are heard to address their need, data-driven decision-making systems, fertilizer innovation, circular N management and cross-sectoral collaboration. Conclusion Collectively, this work offers a holistic framework for advancing sustainable N management and help to build resilient agricultural systems under intensifying environmental and climate pressures.

The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and conservation relevance. We delineated 122 ISRAs spanning ~ 1 million km 2 (~ 3% of the region) across 12 jurisdictions and international waters, encompassing habitats for 121 species (~ 30% of Asia’s chondrichthyans), 76% of which are threatened. Depleted taxa (e.g., giant guitarfishes, Glaucostegidae) were represented, but charismatic megafauna (e.g., Whale Shark Rhincodon typus ) were overrepresented. In contrast, deepwater and freshwater species were underrepresented. Reproductive Areas were the most common ISRA sub-criterion applied (52% of ISRAs), largely in nearshore zones, while areas for range-restricted species were less frequently (18%) identified. Twelve ISRAs overlapped with biodiversity hotspots, including seven in areas of high overall chondrichthyan species richness and five in areas of high range-restricted species richness. Citizen science was the predominant research method used to delineate ISRAs, while fisheries data were underused despite the region’s major fisheries footprint. Geographic coverage was uneven: Indonesia held the most ISRAs (n = 40; 71.7% of ISRA coverage) while eight jurisdictions (e.g., Viet Nam, China, Republic of Korea) lacked ISRAs due to data gaps. Protection shortfalls are stark: MPAs cover

Influence of enzyme source and degree of hydrolysis on bioactivity and functional properties of protein hydrolysates from threadfin bream (Nemipterus japonicus) frame waste for food and nutraceutical applications - Girija Saurabh Behere; Vijay Kumar Reddy Surasani; B. A. Shamasundar; Nikheel Bhojraj Rathod; Pramod Kumar Pandey (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Fish frame waste (FW) from threadfin breams ( Nemipterus japonicus ) was valorized into functional fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) using proteases from plant (ficin), microbial (neutrase), fungal and endogenous visceral sources for potential food and nutraceutical applications. A comparative enzymatic hydrolysis approach was adopted for evaluating influence of enzyme source and degree of hydrolysis (DH) on bioactivity and functionality of the resulting hydrolysates. Bioactivity increased with increasing DH, with plant protease derived FPH exhibiting the highest angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory potential. In contrast, antioxidant activity assessed using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assays showed maximum activity in fungal protease-derived FPH. Functionality in terms of solubility, emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming capacity, and fat absorption capacity were superior at lower DH with visceral enzyme–derived FPH showing enhanced interfacial functionality. The findings demonstrated that enzyme specificity and DH regulate the balance between bioactivity and functional performance, highlighting fish frame waste as a sustainable source of tailored bioactive ingredients for food and nutraceutical applications.

Changing Northeast India Summer Monsoon Onset Dynamics in a Warming World - Simanta Das; Rahul Mahanta; Bijit Kumar Banerjee; B. N. Goswami (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
The Indian Summer Monsoon typically begins over Northeast India (NEI) about 2 weeks earlier than monsoon onset over Kerala, extending the rainy season in NEI to around 150 days. This early onset is strongly linked to planetary‐scale processes, particularly interactions with extratropical Rossby waves. These waves facilitate the downward and southward intrusion of potential vorticity, which triggers low‐level cyclonic vorticity and initiates monsoon onset. The quasi‐biweekly oscillation further facilitates this process. While climate change is associated with a weakening of the seasonal mean monsoon over NEI, its impact on extratropical influences and the trend of earlier onset remains uncertain. This study examines changes in tropical circulation and extratropical influences by comparing two periods: 1940–1960 and 2002–2023. Results reveal a marked increase in extratropical influence in recent decades. In 2002–2023, clear signs of downward PV intrusion and enhanced low‐level cyclonic vorticity are observed, in contrast to the earlier period where such features are largely absent. Lead–lag composites of PV anomalies at 200 hPa show prominent eastward‐propagating signals during onset in the recent period. In 1940–1960, monsoon onset was primarily driven by local mesoscale convection and self‐organisation, with cyclonic vorticity strengthening 2 days post‐onset. During the earlier period, heat sources were more likely driven by local convective instability, as indicated by higher convective available potential energy, which was approximately 500 J/kg greater at the time of monsoon onset. Additionally, air‐sea interactions have become more influential in recent decades. While stronger Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the Bay of Bengal (BOB) during pre‐onset facilitates the onset through enhanced moisture flux, SSTs over BOB tend to cool once the onset process begins. These findings highlight a significant shift in monsoon onset mechanisms over NEI, with increasing extratropical control and evolving ocean–atmosphere interactions likely shaped by climate change.

Bakanae disease of rice has emerged as a major threat in the rice‐growingregions of Eastern and Northeastern India. Under field conditions, Fusarium species associated with bakanae disease of rice exhibit a significant degree of variability. Characterizing the pathogen and its isolates is crucial for understanding this variability. This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity and virulence patterns among 88 Fusarium isolates, the causal agents of rice bakanae disease, collected from various locations across Eastern and Northeastern regions of India. The isolates showed a significant variation in their morphology and virulence pattern. The genetic variability among isolates was assessed using 19 microsatellite markers, all of which were successfully amplified across the isolates. The observed genetic diversity was significant, as indicated by Shannon's information index for marker alleles. Using the marker allele differences among the isolates, pathogen population was subdivided into two groups. The analysis of molecular variance among two subpopulations demonstrated lower variance among population than within population. These findings suggest that the studied pathogen population comprises genetically distinct strains, ranging from highly virulent to moderately virulent. This study enhances our understanding of the diversity and distribution of Fusarium isolates, providing valuable insights for strategic breeding programs and effective disease management strategies.

Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities. Large‐brained, long‐lived animals such as marine mammals often have extensive capability to adaptively modify their behavior due to their cognition, which comprises the mechanisms of information acquisition, processing, and flexible action. Consequently, current behavior need not be a final predictor of future behavior for these animals. This flexibility provides an underutilized and under examined point of leverage for humans interested in improving life outcomes for wild animals. In this team‐written, interdisciplinary paper, we argue that application of cognitive approaches may facilitate many conservation efforts directed toward marine mammals. Starting with a workshop on this topic at the 24th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals, scientists representing a wide range of disciplinary expertise addressed eight different conservation concerns for six marine mammal species and provided potential cognitive explanations of and interventions aimed at related behavior. Our treatment highlights the value of integrated laboratory and field research, and the importance of tight lines of communication between scientists and conservation managers.
