Drivers of variation in occurrence, abundance, and behaviour of sharks on coral reefs [PDF]
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 ...

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...
