In the Northeast Atlantic, it is unclear whether short‐finned pilot whales, Globicephala macrorhynchus (SFPWs), are transient or resident above 40°N. We used Anisakis spp. to identify the latitudes recently visited by a SFPW pod stranded in NW Spain (43°N) in 2020. Analysis of cox2 gene in 30 nematodes from 6 SFPWs revealed the presence of A. simplex sensu stricto (s.s.) (93.3%) and A. pegreffii (6.7%). Morphological analysis...
The contribution of fish to the diet of loggerhead sea turtles in the western Mediterranean revisitedNARA Subscribed
Early juvenile loggerhead turtles ( Caretta caretta ) rely on gelatinous zooplankton, whereas individuals larger than 40 cm curved carapace length are adapted to crush hard-shelled invertebrates. Nevertheless, fish were reported to be the staple food of loggerhead turtles in the western Mediterranean 30 years ago. Here, the temporal consistency of such a fish-based diet of loggerhead turtles is assessed through gut content ana...
