Factors Affecting Shark Detection from Drone Patrols in Southeast Queensland, Eastern Australia
Biology, 2022 Drones enable the monitoring for sharks in real-time, enhancing the safety of ocean users with minimal impact on marine life. Yet, the effectiveness of drones for detecting sharks (especially potentially dangerous sharks; i.e., white shark, tiger shark ...

Increased shark bite survivability revealed by two centuries of Australian records
Scientific Reports, 2022 The perceived and real threat of shark bites have significant direct health and indirect economic impacts. Here we assess the changing odds of surviving an unprovoked shark bite using 200 years of Australian records.

Philopatry and migration of Pacific white sharks [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 Advances in electronic tagging and genetic research are making it possible to discern population structure for pelagic marine predators once thought to be panmictic. However, reconciling migration patterns and gene flow to define the resolution of discrete population management units remains a major challenge, and a vital conservation priority for ...

Shark incidents in California 1950-2021; frequency and trends
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Many reports have categorized the frequency, circumstances, and causes for interactions between sharks and humans, often using the behaviorally inaccurate term “attack.” The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) instead uses the term ...

Detecting Southern California’s White Sharks With Environmental DNA
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 To improve ability to detect white sharks without the need for tags, or visual census, we developed a species-specific environmental DNA (eDNA) assay that targets a 163 bp fragment of the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) mitochondrial cytochrome B ...

Seasonal distribution and historic trends in abundance of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, in the western North Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Despite recent advances in field research on white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in several regions around the world, opportunistic capture and sighting records remain the primary source of information on this species in the northwest Atlantic Ocean ...
