The bluntnose sixgill shark ( Hexanchus griseus ) is a deep-water, globally distributed, but data-limited species due to its habitat use and cryptic nature. Its slow growth, long lifespan, and uncertain population status have prompted concern about its vulnerability and resulted in an IUCN Red List status of “Near Threatened.” A lack of information about critical habitat use throughout the species’ life cycle, such as breeding...

Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...

The increasing feasibility of whole‐genome sequencing has been highly anticipated, promising to transform our understanding of the biology of nonmodel species. Notably, dramatic cost reductions beginning around 2007 with the advent of high‐throughput sequencing inspired publications heralding the ‘genomics revolution’, with predictions about its future impacts. Although such predictions served as useful guideposts, value is ad...

Isolation by distance and biogeographical boundaries define patterns of population genetic structure for harbour porpoise along the Pacific coast from California to British Columbia. Until recently, inadequate sample sizes in many regions constrained efforts to characterise population genetic structure throughout the coastal waters of Alaska. Here, tissue samples from beachcast strandings and fisheries bycatch were supplemente...

The homing behaviour of salmon is a remarkable natural phenomenon, critical for shaping the ecology and evolution of populations yet the spatial scale at which it occurs is poorly understood. This study investigated the spatial scale and mechanisms driving homing as depicted by spawning site‐choice behaviour in pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha ) in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Molecular pedigree analyses of over 30,000 ad...
