Comparison of Physicochemical and Structural Properties of Acid-Soluble and Pepsin-Soluble Collagens from Blacktip Reef Shark Skin [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 Fish collagen has been widely used in tissue engineering (TE) applications as an implant, which is generally transplanted into target tissue with stem cells for better regeneration ability.

Sex-based differences in movement and space use of the blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Information on the spatial ecology of reef sharks is critical to understanding life-history patterns, yet gaps remain in our knowledge of how these species move and occupy space.

Microsatellite analyses of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) in a fragmented environment show structured clusters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The population dynamics of shark species are generally poorly described because highly mobile marine life is challenging to investigate. Here we investigate the genetic population structure of the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) in French

Genetic evidence for plastic reproductive philopatry and matrotrophy in blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) of the Moorea Island (French Polynesia) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The exploitation of sharks and the degradation of their habitats elevate the urgency to understand the factors that influence offspring survival and ultimately shark reproductive success.

Inferring leader-follower dynamics in three shark species using acoustic telemetry data [PDF]
Movement EcologyBackground Understanding collective behaviours and interactions in sharks is still in its infancy. Although recent studies have revealed some social structures in several shark species, little is known about complex interactions and social processes such

Behaviour of mesopredatory coral reef fishes in response to threats from sharks and humans [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Both sharks and humans present a potentially lethal threat to mesopredatory fishes in coral reef systems, with implications for both population dynamics and the role of mesopredatory fishes in reef ecosystems.

Long-term changes in species composition and relative abundances of sharks at a provisioning site. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Diving with sharks, often in combination with food baiting/provisioning, has become an important product of today's recreational dive industry. Whereas the effects baiting/provisioning has on the behaviour and abundance of individual shark species are ...

Shark Provisioning Influences the Gut Microbiota of the Black-Tip Reef Shark in French Polynesia
Fishes, 2022 There is an increasing interest in touristic observations of top predators in the wild. Sharks are probably the most sought-after animal in marine ecosystems by divers.
