title: Updated checklist and analysis of completeness of the marine fish fauna of Isla del Coco, Pacific of Costa Rica: Fishes Checklist

description: Isla del Coco, Costa Rica, is one of the five groups of oceanic islands of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), and is considered one of the most diverse. Since the mid-19th century, it has been the target of a number of scientific research expeditions that have produced specimen collections which are housed in natural history museums around the world. The fish assemblage of Isla del Coco is considered one of the most speciose and best documented group of marine organisms of the island. Despite this, recent work has resulted in a need to update the checklist for this important group. We performed a completeness analysis of the ichthyofauna of Isl del Coco based on scientific publications and reports of expeditions, specimens in foreign and national collections, and field surveys. We confirmed the presence of 514 species of marine fishes, representing an increase of approximately 23% compared to what was previously reported. From a habitat perspective, 58 % of this assemblage is typically reef fishes, while the remaining 42% are deep-water, and pelagic species. The average expected reef fish species richness is 318.2 ? 7.3, suggesting that the local inventory represents 93.7 % of the expected total richness. Our updated list and greater number of species has particular relevance to the conservation efforts at Isla del Coco, since current conservation efforts are protecting at least 50 % of ETP fish species and about 40 % of Costa Rica?s Pacific fish species.

title: Distribution of the invasive bryozoan Schizoporella japonica in Great Britain and Ireland and a review of its European distribution

description: The bryozoan Schizoporella japonica Ortmann (1890) was first recorded in European waters in 2010 and has since been reported from further locations in Great Britain (GB) and Norway. This paper provides a new earliest European record for the species from 2009, a first record from Ireland and presence and absence records from a total of 231 marinas and harbours across GB, Ireland, the Isle of Man, France and Portugal. This species is typically associated with human activity, including commercial and recreational vessels, aquaculture equipment, and both wave and tidal energy devices. It has also been observed in the natural environment, fouling rocks and boulders. The species has an extensive but widely discontinuous distribution in GB and Ireland. Although found frequently in marinas and harbours in Scotland, it inhabits only a few sites in England, Wales and Ireland, interspersed with wide gaps that are well documented as genuine absences. This appears to be a rare example of a southward-spreading invasion in GB and Ireland. The species has been reported from the Isle of Man and Norway but has not been found in France or Portugal. In the future we expect S. japonica to spread into suitable sections of the English, Welsh and Irish coasts, and further within Europe. The species’ capability for long-distance saltatory spread and potential for negative impact on native ecosystems and economic activity suggests that S. japonica should now be considered invasive in GB and Ireland. As such, it is recommended that biosecurity procedures alongside effective surveillance and monitoring should be prioritised for regions outside the species’ current distribution.

title: Patrones de canto y transmisión cultural en ballenas jorobadas en las costas ecuatorianas

description: La Ballena Jorobada <i>(Megaphtera novaengliae)</i> se caracteriza por sus largas migraciones desde las aguas polares de los hemisferios norte y sur, hasta llegar a aguas tropicales y subtropicales para su reproducción (aparearse, dar nacimiento y cuidar a sus crías) (Dawbin, 1966). De acuerdo a la Comisión Ballenera Internacional las poblaciones de este rorcual se encuentran diferenciadas en siete stocks dentro de las zonas de reproducción invernal y seis mayores áreas de alimentación en el verano dentro del océano meridional (IWC, 2011b). En América del Sur se conoce que estos animales migran hacia las costas de Perú, Ecuador, Colombia y Panamá, para reproducirse durante la época invernal (Flórez et al 2007).
description: En la región del Pacifico Sudeste, las ballenas jorobadas visitan aguas ecuatorianas desde los meses de junio a septiembre de parte de su comportamiento de apareamiento y contexto social, los individuos macho producen una elaborada demostración acústica conocido como "canto" (sonidos repetitivos y organizados) (Garland et al 2011). De igual manera, las ballenas jorobadas de diferentes edades, tanto macho y hembra e inclusive crías producen particulares sonidos cortos y rápidos conocidos como " sociales o no cantos" (Dunlop et al 2007). Sin embargo, pocos estudios han examinado el repertorio acústico y ecología de las ballenas jorobadas en diferentes áreas de reproducción en la región.
description: En las zonas costeras al norte del Ecuador el proyecto CETACEA ha recopilado información relevante sobre las preferencias de hábitat, la distribución espacial, la estructura social y el comportamiento acústico de las ballenas jorobadas durante varias temporadas de reproducción (Oña 2013, Intriago 2015, Narváez 2015). A demás, se han realizado los primeros esfuerzos de muestreos a lo largo de aguas profundas tanto de Esmeraldas, Manabí y Santa Elena, las cuales no son visitados comúnmente por embarcaciones de investigación (Rubianes 2015).

title: Biodiversity data of the Banc D'Arguin National Park. Information for education, conservation and management.

description: The Parc National du Banc d?Arguin (PNBA, comprising 12,000 km2 of which half are marine) is the largest marine protected area in western Africa, recognized for its unique universal value by the UNESCO?s Marine World Heritage Programme. It is a globally significant hotspot for blue carbon, as the third largest area of seagrass and the third largest carbon stock among these UNESCO sites. PNBA is also a Ramsar Wetland of international importance and a WWF ?Gift to the Earth?, and is the most important habitat of the Western Atlantic for nesting birds and Palaearctic migratory waders. The PNBA?s extensive marine vegetation provides major shelter, feeding and/or breeding sites for a wide range of marine species, including seabirds, turtles, endangered elasmobranchs and many other species of conservation and/or commercial interest (adapted from https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01890)

title: Localisations GPS de fous de Bassan nichant sur l'Île-Bonaventure saison 2012
title: GPS locations of Northern Gannets nesting in Bonaventure island(2012)

description: Depuis 2012, le Laboratoire d'ornithologie marine de Rimouski (https://ornithologiemarine.wixsite.com/lomr/david-pelletier) a mis en place un programme de suivi annuel du comportement alimentaire des fous de Bassan (Morus bassanus) nichant dans le parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé (plus spécifiquement sur l'île Bonaventure). Le LOMR est dirigé par Magella Guillemette (professeur à l'Université du Québec à Rimouski) en collaboration avec David Pelletier (professeur au Cégep de Rimouski). Plusieurs dizaines d'étudiant.e.s des niveaux collégial et universitaire (1er, 2e et 3e cycles) ont participé la collecte de ces données. Les données présentes dans cette base de données sont celles de 2012, mais celles au delà de 2017 peuvent être demandées au LOMR en contactant les propriétaires des données. Les localisations ont été enregistrées à l'aide de consignateurs de données GPS, programmés à une fréquence de 5 ou 10 minutes (suivant les années) et fixés sur la queue des oiseaux avec du ruban adhésif blanc de grade marin de marque Tesa.
description: Since 2012, the Rimouski Marine Ornithology Laboratory (LOMR)(https://ornithologiemarine.wixsite.com/lomr/david-pelletier) has implemented an annual monitoring program for the feeding behaviour of gannets (Morus bassanus) nesting in Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock National Park (more specifically on Bonaventure Island). LOMR is directed by Magella Guillemette (professor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski) in collaboration with David Pelletier (professor at the Cégep de Rimouski). Several dozen college and university students (1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles) participated in the collection of this data. The data present in this database are those of 2012, but the more recent ones can be requested from the LOMR by contacting the owners of the data. Locations were recorded using GPS data loggers, programmed at a frequency of 5 or 10 minutes (depending on the year) and attached to the birds' tails with white Tesa marine grade tape.
description: Les déplacements du fou de Bassan ont été enregistrés à l’aide de moniteurs GPS iGotU GT-120 de 20 g (dimension de 44,5 x 28,5 x 13 mm). Les appareils étaient préalablement emballés sous vide et recouverts de ruban Tesa blanc no 4650. Pour minimiser la résistance pendant le vol et éviter que les appareils soit déplacés lors les plongeons, ils ont été attachés au-dessus des quatre rectrices les plus centrales, prêt de la base de la queue des oiseaux. Ils pèsaient en moyenne 32,2 ± 0,1 g une fois emballés, soit 1,08% (± 0.01) de la masse corporelle du fou de Bassan, ce qui ne devait donc pas affecter ses mouvements (Lewis et al., 2002; Fair et al., 2010). Les moniteurs ont enregistré une localisation à un intervalle de 10 min, pendant deux à trois semaines. Ils ont ensuite été récupérés par recapture. Ces enregistrements ont permis de mesurer la durée et la distance totales des déplacements alimentaires des fous de Bassan.

description: Abstract:Estuaries are highly productive ecosystems that provide an important nursery function to many marine-spawning fish species. To gain a better understanding of the importance of these systems to estuary-associated species, knowledge on their movement patterns within estuaries is necessary. This is particularly relevant in the development of alternative management options such as estuarine protected areas (EPAs). The Goukou Estuary in the Western Cape has a formalised EPA within its boundaries, therefore this study aims at assessing the efficacy of this EPA by studying the movement behaviour of two important estuary-dependent fishery species with two very different movement behaviours.

title: UNESCO eDNA expedition in French Austral Lands and Seas (France): December 2022 and April 2023

description: This dataset contains the eDNA data collected as a part of the UNESCO eDNA expeditions in Marine World Heritage Sites project in 2022-2024. The project was coordinated in collaboration with the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) of IOC-UNESCO and the marine programme of the UNESCO World Heritage Center, and funded by the government of Flanders (Kingdom of Belgium). The samples were collected with citizen science eDNA sampling kits, containing a syringe and a filter, and preserved with Longmire's buffer, before sequencing at a central laboratory. Five different biomarkers were analysed, including 12SMifish, Mimammal, Teleo, 16S-Vert and COI markers. The sequences were analysed with the PacMAN pipeline and quality controlled including a validation check by local scientists and site managers as well as compared to existing knowledge on species distributions in OBIS and GBIF. The full sampling protocols and materials are available on the project website (https://www.unesco.org/en/edna-training-materials?hub=66910), and the bioinformatics pipeline is on github (https://github.com/iobis/PacMAN-pipeline). The data can also be explored on the eDNA expeditions dashboard (https://dashboard.ednaexpeditions.org/).
