Along the coastal regions of the Mediterranean Sea, certain pelagic elasmobranchs seasonally occur, such as the endangered spinetail devil ray ( Mobula mobular ). Given its current conservation status, these occurrences hold significant scientific interest. Therefore, this study examined spinetail devil ray occurrences in a data‐deficient region of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, exclusively using opportunistic records from c...

Stochasticity in food availability influences vital rates such as survival and fertility. Life-history theory predicts that in long-lived organisms, survival should be buffered against environmental stochasticity showing little temporal variability. Furthermore, to optimize survival prospects, many animal species perform migrations to wintering areas where food availability is larger. Species with large latitudinal distributio...
