- Although some nurseries fared well, interruptions in monitoring can stall progress and jeopardize future funding, emphasizing the need for better resilience and self-sufficiency in coral restoration initiatives.
Previous investigations of the population genetics of the scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific have lacked information about nursery areas. Such areas are key to promoting conservation initiatives that can protect young sharks from threats such as overfishing. Here, we investigated the genetic diversity, phylogeography, and connectivity of S.
