Abundance patterns of reef sharks and predatory fishes on differently zoned reefs in the offshore Townsville region final report to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority [PDF]
Sharks were counted in six 500 x 20 m transects on the slope of each reef during late March 2008. Densities of whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus) were twice as high on green reefs as on blue reefs but were twice as high on pink reefs as on green ...

Field Observations of the Behaviour of Blackfin Reef Sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
The chondrichthyan lineage diverged from the osteichthyan line 440 million years ago, resulting in a vast evolutionary gulf between modern elasmobranchs and other vertebrates. Though this has supported the assumption that sharks are ancient, dangerous, and binary-minded, the few ethological studies done have noted intelligent actions including social ...

Abstract Animal holobionts constitute diverse yet interconnected landscapes of microenvironments that harbor specific bacterial communities with distinct functions. An increasing body of literature suggests a partitioning and distinct functional profiles of bacterial communities across shark microenvironments, which has led to the proposition
