The occurrence of sharks on coral reefs has been well documented for decades, especially
since the advent of SCUBA diving. Despite this, it is only within the last decade that …

Sleep is widespread across the animal kingdom. However, most comparative sleep data
exist for terrestrial vertebrates, with much less known about sleep in amphibians, bony …

Animals across vertebrate taxa form social communities and often exist as fission–fusion
groups. Central place foragers (CPF) may form groups from which they will predictably …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) have emerged as potentially important conservation tools for
the conservation of biodiversity and mitigation of climate impacts. Among MPAs, a large …

Background Central place foragers (CPF) rest within a central place, and theory predicts that
distance of patches from this central place sets the outer limits of the foraging arena. Many …

There has recently been great interest in the use of accelerometers onboard electronic
transmitters to characterise various aspects of the ecology of wild animals. We review use …

Over the last century anthropogenic activities have rapidly increased the influx of metals and
metalloids entering the marine environment, which can bioaccumulate and biomagnify in …

Distinguishing the factors that influence activity within a species advances understanding of
their behavior and ecology. Continuous observation in the marine environment is not …

Understanding how reef-associated sharks use coastal waters through their ontogeny is
important for their effective conservation and management. This study used the horizontal …

Many shark species exhibit complex spatial ecology throughout their life histories, posing a
challenge for conservation and management. Although most marine protected areas (MPAs) …
