Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...

Improving conservation outcomes for seadragons: data, knowledge gaps, and future directionsNARA Subscribed
Seadragons are charismatic fishes endemic to Australia’s Great Southern Reef and are flagships for marine biodiversity. Due to their unique appearances and behaviors, seadragons are of interest for both scientific research and broader conservation purposes. However, studies on wild seadragon populations are challenging to implement, and peer-reviewed data on population demographics, life histories, and other aspects of seadrag...
Animal telemetry is maturing into a viable method for observing the ocean as it can be used to monitor both environmental conditions and biological metrics along the movement trajectories of marine animals. As part of the Cormorant Oceanography Project, we have augmented a biologging tag with an external fast response temperature sensor to collect ocean temperature profiles from the backs of foraging marine birds. Cormorants d...
To Approve or not to Approve? A Comparative Analysis of State-Company-Indigenous Community Interactions in Mining in Canada and SwedenNARA Subscribed
This Special Section explores the interplay between Indigenous peoples, industry, and the state in five proposed and active mining projects in Canada and Sweden. The overall aim is to identify factors shaping the quality of Indigenous community-industry-state interactions in mining and mine development. An ambition underlying the research is to develop knowledge to help manage mining related land-use conflicts in Sweden by dra...
Direct and indirect effects of agricultural land cover on avian biodiversity in eastern CanadaNARA Subscribed
Agriculture is one of the largest threats to global biodiversity. However, most studies have focused only on the direct effects of agriculture on biodiversity, and few have addressed the indirect effects, potentially over or under-estimating the overall impacts of agriculture on biodiversity. The indirect effect is the response not to the agricultural cover types or operations per se , but instead, to the way that agriculture...
Using ultraconserved elements to track the influence of sea‐level change on leafy seadragon populationsNARA Subscribed
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), global sea levels were 120–130 m lower than today, resulting in the emergence of most continental shelves and extirpation of subtidal organisms from these areas. During the interglacial periods, rapid inundation of shelf regions created a dynamic environment for coastal organisms, such as the charismatic leafy seadragon ( Phycodurus eques , Syngnathidae), a brooder with low dispersal abil...
