Thermal tolerance and hypoxia tolerance are associated in blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) neonates [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020
ABSTRACT Thermal dependence of growth and metabolism can influence thermal preference and tolerance in marine ectotherms, including threatened and data-deficient species. Here, we quantified the thermal dependence of physiological performance in neonates of a tropical shark species (blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus) from ...

Location, Location, Location! Evaluating Space Use of Captive Aquatic Species—A Case Study with Elasmobranchs

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2022
The space use of captive animals has been reliably used as a tool to measure animal welfare in recent years. However, most analyses of space use focus primarily on terrestrial animals, with very little emphasis placed on the space use of aquatic animals.

Drivers of variation in occurrence, abundance, and behaviour of sharks on coral reefs

Scientific Reports, 2022
Quantifying the drivers of population size in reef sharks is critical for the development of appropriate conservation strategies. In north-west Australia, shark populations inhabit coral reefs that border growing centres of human population, industry ...

On the Movements of the Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

, 2023
One challenge in studying the natural behaviour of wild animals is the requirement of detailed observations spanning extended periods of time, which is particularly difficult in the case of sharks. As a result, remote sensing technologies are increasingly employed in which the data received is considerably simplified.

Behaviour of mesopredatory coral reef fishes in response to threats from sharks and humans

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.

At the Turn of the Tide: Space Use and Habitat Partitioning in Two Sympatric Shark Species Is Driven by Tidal Phase

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Coexistence of ecologically similar species occupying the same geographic location (sympatry) poses questions regarding how their populations persist without leading to competitive exclusion.

Parasitic nematodes of marine fishes from Palmyra Atoll, East Indo-Pacific, including a new species of Spinitectus (Nematoda, Cystidicolidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
Here, we present the results of a taxonomic survey of the nematodes parasitizing fishes from the lagoon flats of Palmyra Atoll, Eastern Indo-Pacific. We performed quantitative parasitological surveys of 653 individual fish from each of the 44 species ...
