Use of an acceleration data logger to measure diel activity patterns in captive whitetip reef sharks,Triaenodon obesus

Aquatic Living Resources, 2007
Traditional telemetry methods have been used to quantify the horizontal and vertical displacement of marine species, but are unable to identify specific physical activities such as swimming or gliding, resting, foraging, or spawning. We tested the utility of an acceleration data logger to quantify activity patterns of three captive whitetip reef sharks

A Review of the Status of Sharks, Rays and Chimaeras of Panama to Guide Research and Conservation

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are a group of high conservation concern globally. Species are impacted by varying threats, although fishing pressure is the primary stressor causing population declines. Panama comprises both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines with a diversity of estuarine and marine habitats supporting small ...

Fishers' interactions with endangered “rhinorays” in Karimunjawa National Park, and factors influencing willingness to engage in pro‐conservation behavior

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The “rhinorays” (giant guitarfish‐Glaucostegidae and wedgefish‐Rhinidae) are a critically endangered group of “shark‐like rays,” which have experienced steep global population declines in the past decade due to overfishing. Their slow life histories and high market value increase the risk of trade‐driven extinction and lead to trade‐offs ...

Continental‐Scale Assessment of Climate‐Driven Marine Species Range Extensions Using a Decade of Citizen Science Data

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate‐driven extensions of species distributions have serious consequences for human wellbeing and ecosystems. The recent growth of citizen science data collection represents an underutilised resource for the early detection of marine species range extensions (i.e., expansion of species' distributions at the poleward edge) that can ...

Balancing ecotourism and wildlife management through a conservation behavior approach

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We surveyed ecologists, conservationists, and ecotourism professionals to investigate consequences of ecotourism on animal behavior. We highlight four main behavioral themes and solutions for engendering more sustainable ecotourism that mitigates behavioral impacts.
