Explaining how animals respond to an increasingly urbanised world is a major challenge for
evolutionary biologists. Urban environments often present animals with novel problems that …

Large, solitary, marine predators such as sharks have been observed to aggregate at
specific areas. Such aggregations are almost certainly driven by foraging and behavioural …

There are widespread records of grou** behaviour in both adult and juvenile sharks and
