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.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Climate vulnerability in sharks and rays is unevenly distributed across habitats and ecological groups, reflecting differences in exposure pathways and biological constraints. Using an updated application of the Integrated Risk Assessment for Climate Change (IRACC) framework, we conducted a global reassessment of climate vulnerability for 95 ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.This study developed and validated the first genus‐specific eDNA assay for epaulette sharks (Hemiscyllium spp.), targeting the NADH4 gene. Field application in Raja Ampat detected H. freycineti at six of seven locations, including one location (Dayan) where daytime visual surveys failed, demonstrating this tool's value for monitoring protected species.
