TL;DR: This analysis provides an unprecedented global assessment of the distribution and magnitude of air-breathing megafauna bycatch, highlighting its cumulative nature and the urgent need to build on existing mitigation successes.

TL;DR: In this article, an intensive pilot study was conducted to evaluate whether interview surveys can be effective in assessing fishing effort and threatened species bycatch in artisanal fisheries, and the results indicated that annual sea turtle bycatch may number at least in the low thousands of individuals per country.

TL;DR: A review of the available information (observer programs, estimates, statutes, regulations) for bycatch of marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds in fisheries of the United States is presented in this article.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, when food is superabundant, optimal cache distances are more strongly determined by minimizing energy cost of caching than by minimizing pilfering rates and that cache loss rates may be more strongly density-dependent in times of low seed abundance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on five bycatch-related questions that require research attention, building on exam-ples from the current literature and the contributions to this Theme Section, including: (1) Where is bycatch most prevalent? (2) Which species are taken as bycatch? (3) Which fisheries and gear types result in the highest bycatch of marine megafauna? (4) What are the population-level effects on bycatch species? And (5) How can bycatch be reduced?
