Any attempt to describe the spatial ecology of sharks and rays should consider the drivers
responsible for movement. Research has shown fluctuations in the environment (abiotic …

As coral reef ecosystems come under increasing pressure from fisheries and climate
change, understanding how species that rely on these habitats respond to changes within …

Acute disturbance events like tropical storms can have significant effects on coastal habitats
and animals that utilise them. We examined environmental parameters as cues for flight …

The space utilization and distribution of young (< 2 yr old) bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas
within a 27 km stretch of the Caloosahatchee River estuary in Southwest Florida was …

We used acoustic telemetry to describe the patterns of vertical movement, site fidelity and
residency of grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) on the outer slope of coral …

Global declines of shark populations are of concern because of their largely assumed role
as moderators of ecosystem function. Without long-term data on movement patterns for …

Sharks occur in all of the world's oceans and in waters that include deep-sea, oceanic,
neritic, and estuarine habitats. In addition, a few specialized species also occur in rivers and …

Site fidelity and migratory movements of vertebrate animals occur at many spatial and
temporal scales. Larger migratory movements tend to occur in species that live in seasonal …

Movements and habitat preferences of sharks relative to a central location are widely
documented for many species; however, the reasons for such behaviors are currently …

Marine and terrestrial environments differ fundamentally in space‐time scales of both
physical and ecological processes. These differences will have an impact on the animals …
