• Consequences of a mass mortality in populations of Eunicella singularis (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) in Menorca (NW Mediterranean)

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 327:51-60 (2006)

  At the end of the boreal summer of 1999, many invertebrates in hard-bottom communities in the NW Mediterranean Sea suffered an episode of mass mortality. Our study examined the effects of this event…

• Estimating growth, size-dependent mortality, and tag loss in a mark-recapture study: demography of wavy turban snails in Southern California, USA

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 659:97-112 (2021)

  Tagging studies are often used to measure survival and growth in wild populations. However, issues such as low returns of tagged animals, tag loss, and handling mortality can affect the precision and…

• Protozoal-related mortalities in endangered Hawaiian monk seals Neomonachus schauinslandi

  Dis Aquat Org 121:85-95 (2016)

  Protozoal infections have been widely documented in marine mammals and may cause morbidity and mortality at levels that result in population level effects. The presence and potential impact on the…

• Lesions associated with drowning in bycaught penguins

  Dis Aquat Org 121:241-248 (2016)

  Fisheries bycatch, the incidental mortality that occurs as a result of entanglement in fishing gear, is an important conservation threat to penguins and other seabirds. Identification of entanglement…

• Prevalence of the pathogenic crustacean virus Callinectes sapidus reovirus 1 near flow-through blue crab aquaculture in Chesapeake Bay, USA

  Dis Aquat Org 129:135-144 (2018)

  Understanding the ecology of diseases is important to understanding variability in abundance, and therefore management, of marine animals exploited commercially. The blue crab Callinectes sapidus…

• Novel quantitative PCR assay specific for the emerging Perkinsea amphibian pathogen reveals seasonal infection dynamics

  Dis Aquat Org 129:85-98 (2018)

  Amphibians are suffering from large-scale population declines worldwide, and infectious diseases are a central driving force. Most pathogen-mediated declines are attributed to 2 pathogens, the fungus…

• Mass mortalities of unknown aetiology in Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas in Port Stephens, New South Wales, Australia

  Dis Aquat Org 125:227-242 (2017)

  From January to June 2013 and November to January 2014, mass mortalities were reported in Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas cultivated in Port Stephens estuary, New South Wales, Australia. In some…

  Dis Aquat Org 126:63-70 (2017)

  Acropora white syndrome (AWS) and Terpios sponge overgrowth (TSO) are serious threats to coral communities in various regions; however, information on these 2 lesions in the Indian Ocean is much more…
