Nat Ecol Evol . 2024 May; 8(6):1118-1128. PMID: 38769434
Many shark populations are in decline around the world, with severe ecological and economic consequences. Fisheries management and marine protected areas (MPAs) have both been heralded as solutions. However, the...

Womersley F, Rohner C, Abrantes K, Afonso P, Arunrugstichai S, Bach S, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2024 May; 934:172776. PMID: 38697520
The expansion of the world's merchant fleet poses a great threat to the ocean's biodiversity. Collisions between ships and marine megafauna can have population-level consequences for vulnerable species. The Endangered...

DAntonio B, Ferreira L, Meekan M, Thomson P, Lieber L, Virtue P, et al.
Mov Ecol . 2024 Jan; 12(1):10. PMID: 38297368
Background: Measuring coastal-pelagic prey fields at scales relevant to the movements of marine predators is challenging due to the dynamic and ephemeral nature of these environments. Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus)...

Simpfendorfer C, Heithaus M, Heupel M, MacNeil M, Meekan M, Harvey E, et al.
Science . 2023 Jun; 380(6650):1155-1160. PMID: 37319199
A global survey of coral reefs reveals that overfishing is driving resident shark species toward extinction, causing diversity deficits in reef elasmobranch (shark and ray) assemblages. Our species-level analysis revealed...

Science . 2023 May; 380(6645):583-584. PMID: 37167374
Hammerhead sharks hold their breath when diving to regulate body temperature.

Udyawer V, Huveneers C, Jaine F, Babcock R, Brodie S, Buscot M, et al.
Am Nat . 2023 Mar; 201(4):586-602. PMID: 36958006
AbstractUnifying models have shown that the amount of space used by animals (e.g., activity space, home range) scales allometrically with body mass for terrestrial taxa; however, such relationships are far...

Campana S, Smolinski S, Black B, Morrongiello J, Alexandroff S, Andersson C, et al.
Ecology . 2022 Nov; 104(3):e3918. PMID: 36342309
Large-scale, climate-induced synchrony in the productivity of fish populations is becoming more pronounced in the world's oceans. As synchrony increases, a population's "portfolio" of responses can be diminished, in turn...

Bosch N, Monk J, Goetze J, Wilson S, Babcock R, Barrett N, et al.
Conserv Biol . 2021 Jul; 36(2):e13807. PMID: 34312893
Marine fisheries in coastal ecosystems in many areas of the world have historically removed large-bodied individuals, potentially impairing ecosystem functioning and the long-term sustainability of fish populations. Reporting on size-based...

Dugal L, Thomas L, Jensen M, Sigsgaard E, Simpson T, Jarman S, et al.
Mol Ecol Resour . 2021 Jun; 22(1):56-65. PMID: 34146448
Population genetic data can provide valuable information on the demography of a species. For rare and elusive marine megafauna, samples for generating the data are traditionally obtained from tissue biopsies,...

Goetze J, Wilson S, Radford B, Fisher R, Langlois T, Monk J, et al.
Glob Chang Biol . 2021 May; 27(15):3432-3447. PMID: 34015863
Marine reserves are a key tool for the conservation of marine biodiversity, yet only ~2.5% of the world's oceans are protected. The integration of marine reserves into connected networks representing...
