Sharks are considered the apex predator of coral reefs, but the consequences of their global
depletion are uncertain. Here we explore the ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs and …

Compound-specific isotopic analysis of amino acids (CSIA-AA) has emerged in the last
decade as a powerful approach for tracing the origins and fate of nitrogen in ecological and …

In an era of accelerated biodiversity loss and limited conservation resources, systematic
prioritization of species and places is essential. In terrestrial vertebrates, evolutionary …

Over the past 4 decades there has been a growing concern for the conservation status of
elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). In 2002, the first elasmobranch species were added to …

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 …

Apex predators often have strong top-down effects on ecosystem components and are
therefore a priority for conservation and management. Due to their large size and …

Intertidal habitats (ie marine habitats that are (partially) exposed during low tide) have
traditionally been studied from a shorebird‐centred perspective. We show that these habitats …

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 …

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 …

Rationale Stable isotope analysis (SIA) provides a powerful tool to investigate diverse
ecological questions for marine species, but standardized values are required for …
