DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.104905
Abstract: Mass mortality events involving marine taxa are increasing worldwide. The long-spined sea urchin Diadema africanum is considered a keystone herbivore species in the northeastern Atlantic due to its control over the abundance and distribution of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-27316-y
Abstract: We investigated a multi-year mass mortality event in muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) on Ellesmere and Axel Heiberg Islands, Nunavut, Canada and linked the deaths with the “Arctic clone” of the bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (Er), making this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288330.2020.1772323
Abstract: ABSTRACT Three independent annual surveys with some spatial–temporal overlap were amalgamated to describe the population dynamics of the New Zealand intertidal cockle (Austrovenus stutchburyi) at Lews Bay, Whangateau Harbour from 1997–2018. After more than a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13344
Abstract: Mass mortality events caused by pulse anthropogenic or environmental perturbations (e.g., extreme weather, toxic spills or epizootics) severely reduce the abundance of a population in a short time. The frequency and impact of these events… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfd.12883
Abstract: The acute course of disease in young oysters infected by OsHV-1 and the rapid tissue degradation often preclude histological examination of specimens collected during outbreaks in field. Herein, live spat originated from two geographical areas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfd.13995
Abstract: Intracellular parasites of the genus Glugea Thélohan, 1891 (Microsporidia) comprise about 34 putative species capable of causing high morbidity and mortality in freshwater and marine teleost fishes. In this study, we report on the first… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02881-23
Abstract: ABSTRACT Microorganisms are vital for the health of marine invertebrates, and their assembly is driven by both deterministic and stochastic factors that regulate residents (innate to the host) and transients (from ambient water). However, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2025.1531742
Abstract: Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) often have served as sentinel species for ecological changes in estuarine and marine systems. In 2013, the population of bottlenose dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon exemplified this role because an… read more here.
