Animals are often faced with complex movement decisions, particularly those that involve
long‐distance dispersal. Partial migrations, ubiquitous among all groups of vertebrates, are …

The ability to predict animal movement based on environmental change is essential for
understanding the dynamic nature of their spatial ecology, and in turn the effectiveness of …

Understanding animal movement decisions that involve migration is critical for evaluating
population connectivity, and thus persistence. Recent work on sharks has shown that often …

Long-distance movements of animals are an important driver of population spatial dynamics
and determine the extent of overlap with area-focused human activities, such as fishing …

The life history of the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), including its reproductive ecology, still
remains largely unknown. Here, we present results from the first whale shark population …

Understanding movement and connectivity of populations is increasingly important as
human and climate change pressures become more pervasive, but can be problematic in …

Shifts in the movement, activity or behaviour of individual animals in relation to changing
environmental landscapes play an important role in determining re-distribution patterns of …

The overexploitation of sharks has become a global environmental issue in need of a
comprehensive and multifaceted management response. Tracking studies are beginning to …

Dramatic population declines among species of pelagic shark as a result of overfishing have
been reported, with some species now at a fraction of their historical biomass. Advanced …

Knowledge of how animals move through heterogeneous environments is essential to
understanding the ecological functions they fulfill in each habitat and their responses to …
