White sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, are often described as elusive, with little information
available due to the logistical difficulties of studying large marine predators that make long …

Many elasmobranch species are undergoing population declines on a global scale;
however, implementation of effective conservation and management strategies is hindered …

Mixing models are statistical tools that use biotracers to probabilistically estimate the
contribution of multiple sources to a mixture. These biotracers may include contaminants …

Sharks are a diverse group of mobile predators that forage across varied spatial scales and
have the potential to influence food web dynamics. The ecological consequences of recent …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) of highly migratory marine pelagic animals can improve
understanding of their migratory patterns and trophic ecology. However, accurate …

There is growing evidence for individuality in dietary preferences and foraging behaviors
within populations of various species. This is especially important for apex predators, since …

Knowledge of the diet and trophic ecology of apex predators is key for the implementation of
effective ecosystem as well as species-based management initiatives. Using a combination …

Abstract In Australian and New Zealand waters, current knowledge on white shark
(Carcharodon carcharias) movement ecology is based on individual tracking studies using …

Understanding animal movement decisions that involve migration is critical for evaluating
population connectivity, and thus persistence. Recent work on sharks has shown that often …

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is becoming a commonly used tool to study the ecology of
elasmobranchs. However, the retention of urea by elasmobranchs for osmoregulatory …
