A decade of submersible observations revealed temporal trends in elasmobranchs in a remote island of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Scientific Reports
No-take marine protected areas (MPAs) can mitigate the effects of overfishing, climate change and habitat degradation, which are leading causes of an unprecedented global biodiversity crisis.

Clasper Flaring: Maintenance Behavior, or a Normally Hidden Feature of Male Whitetip Reef Sharks, Triaenodon Obesus? [PDF]

The Open Fish Science Journal, 2013
Male whitetip reef sharks, Triaenodon obsesus, are able to pivot their claspers beyond regular flexing, including spreading their distal tips in a funnel like fashion. The feature of this extended clasper flexing, labelled clasper flaring, is described here. It is speculated to possibly reflect a pre- or post-copulation-related behavior.

Residency and spatial use by reef sharks of an isolated seamount and its implications for conservation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Although marine protected areas (MPAs) are a common conservation strategy, these areas are often designed with little prior knowledge of the spatial behaviour of the species they are designed to protect.

An Assessment of Mobile Predator Populations along Shallow and Mesophotic Depth Gradients in the Hawaiian Archipelago. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
Large-bodied coral reef roving predators (sharks, jacks, snappers) are largely considered to be depleted around human population centers. In the Hawaiian Archipelago, supporting evidence is primarily derived from underwater visual censuses in shallow ...
