Marine biodiversity loss is accelerating, leading to the elevated extinction risks of many
species, including sharks and rays. To mitigate these losses, information on their distribution …

Shorebirds and seabirds are abundant predators in coastal habitats worldwide, relying upon
a high diversity of benthic invertebrates and fish, respectively. While occupying different …

Research on vacancy analysis and spatial layout of protected natural areas has been
carried out for many years around the world, but most of the research objects are land-type …

The coastal intertidal ecosystem of the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, one of the
largest and most important in West Africa, sustains a considerable proportion of the …

Small pelagic fishes play important ecological roles in marine ecosystems, constitute some
of the most economically valuable fisheries resources, and play a vital role in West African …

The environmental DNA (eDNA) technique characterizes spatio-temporal fish diversity
patterns along estuarine habitats, such as hard-to-reach mangroves, yet it has rarely been …

Assessing at-sea distributions and behaviour of seabirds to identify critical foraging sites and
spatial overlap with potential threats is a major step for delineating conservation guidelines …

We present the first assessment of the diet of the blackchin guitarfish Glaucostegus
cemiculus (Geoffroy Saint‐Hilaire, 1817) for West Africa using DNA metabarcoding on …

Elasmobranch (rays and sharks) populations are vulnerable to overexploitation due to their
slow growth, late maturity, and low fecundity. Industrial fishery impacts on sharks and rays …

We report the concentration of 13 elements in the muscle and liver of 17 coastal fish species
of the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, and link element concentrations to trophic …
