Re-establishment of the Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus in Cyprus: priorities for conservation

Haris Nicolaou et al.

Summary: After being effectively extinct at the end of the 20th century in Cyprus, the Endangered Mediterranean monk seal population on the island has been re-established, with increasing sightings and the birth of several pups confirming the species' permanent presence. This is the first recorded re-establishment of a population in an area of its former range following near eradication.

Sighting patterns reveal unobserved pupping events to revise reproductive rate estimates for Hawaiian monk seals in the main Hawaiian Islands

Stacie J. Robinson et al.

Summary: This study utilized sighting reports from Hawaiian residents to investigate female breeding biology and reproductive success, including timing of events in the reproductive cycle, detection of unobserved pupping events, and estimation of age-specific reproductive curve. The analysis revealed the robust condition of female monk seals in the main Hawaiian Islands, nursing pups longer and regaining condition more quickly after weaning compared to counterparts in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Additionally, the study inferred 25 unobserved pupping events and calculated the highest reported reproductive rate for main Hawaiian Islands monk seals, emphasizing the population's important role in the species' recovery.

New monitoring confirms regular breeding of the Mediterranean monk seal in Northern Cyprus

Damla Beton et al.

Summary: The study found stable habitat and breeding conditions for the endangered Mediterranean monk seal in Cyprus, with one site having pupping continuously for three years; urgent conservation measures are needed to protect these breeding and resting sites from threats of disturbance and fisheries bycatch; a more extensive and continuous long-term survey is required to better understand the population size.
