Advances in understanding the roles and benefits of nursery areas for elasmobranch populations
Nursery areas are critical to the survival of many marine species, and it is widely accepted
that elasmobranch species use nursery areas where they improve species fitness. A 2007 …

Decline of coastal apex shark populations over the past half century
Overexploitation of large apex marine predators is widespread in the world's oceans, yet the
timing and extent of declines are poorly understood. Here we reconstruct a unique fisheries …

Going batty: The challenges and opportunities of using drones to monitor the behaviour and habitat use of rays
The way an animal behaves in its habitat provides insight into its ecological role. As such,
collecting robust, accurate datasets in a time-efficient manner is an ever-present pressure for …

[HTML][HTML] Increased abundance and nursery habitat use of the bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) in response to a changing environment in a warm-temperate estuary
A general northward shift in marine species distributions has been observed in the western
North Atlantic Ocean, which may have significant ecological consequences. Large coastal …

Forecasting intraspecific changes in distribution of a wide-ranging marine predator under climate change
Globally, marine animal distributions are shifting in response to a changing climate. These
shifts are usually considered at the species level, but individuals are likely to differ in how …
