Biologging and biotelemetry: tools for understanding the lives and environments of marine animals
Addressing important questions in animal ecology, physiology, and environmental science
often requires in situ information from wild animals. This difficulty is being overcome by …

The functional and ecological significance of deep diving by large marine predators
Many large marine predators make excursions from surface waters to the deep ocean below
200 m. Moreover, the ability to access meso-and bathypelagic habitats has evolved …

Endothermy makes fishes faster but does not expand their thermal niche
Regional endothermy has evolved several times in marine fishes, and two competing
hypotheses are generally proposed to explain the evolutionary drivers behind this trait …

Integral functions of marine vertebrates in the ocean carbon cycle and climate change mitigation
In the last decade, the ocean has absorbed a quarter of the Earth's greenhouse gas
emissions through the carbon (C) cycle, a naturally occurring process. Aspects of the ocean …

Behavioural thermoregulation linked to foraging in blue sharks
Large pelagic fishes often dive and surface repeatedly as if they were airbreathers, raising a
question about the functions of these movements. Some species (eg, bigeye tuna, ocean …

Spatiotemporal distribution patterns of immature Australasian white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias)
Abstract In Australian and New Zealand waters, current knowledge on white shark
(Carcharodon carcharias) movement ecology is based on individual tracking studies using …

Assessing White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) Behavior Along Coastal Beaches for Conservation-Focused Shark Mitigation
Many large coastal sharks are vulnerable to population declines, however, conflict with
human activities often results in unselective culls. Successfully and non-destructively …

Body dimensions of the extinct giant shark Otodus megalodon: a 2D reconstruction
Inferring the size of extinct animals is fraught with danger, especially when they were much
larger than their modern relatives. Such extrapolations are particularly risky when allometry …

A first look at the metabolic rate of Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus) in the Canadian Arctic
Metabolic rate is intricately linked to the ecology of organisms and can provide a framework
to study the behaviour, life history, population dynamics, and trophic impact of a species …

Diet Composition and Nutritional Niche Breadth Variability in Juvenile White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias)
Establishing diets and dietary generalism in marine top predators is critical for
understanding their ecological roles and responses to environmental fluctuations. Nutrition …
