Well‐designed and effectively managed networks of marine reserves can be effective tools
for both fisheries management and biodiversity conservation. Connectivity, the demographic …

Nursery areas are critical to the survival of many marine species, and it is widely accepted
that elasmobranch species use nursery areas where they improve species fitness. A 2007 …

Quantifying shark distribution patterns and species-specific habitat associations in response
to geographic and environmental drivers is critical to assessing risk of exposure to fishing …

Aim Connectivity structures populations, communities and ecosystems in the sea. The extent
of connectivity is, therefore, predicted to also influence the outcomes of conservation …

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 …

Understanding the efficacy of marine protected areas (MPAs) for wide‐ranging predators is
essential to designing effective management and conservation approaches. The use of …

The degree of reef isolation may limit the frequency of long-range dispersals in reef-
associated sharks. Therefore, understanding how the behaviour and spatial ecology of a …

Wound healing is important for sharks from the earliest life stages, for example, as the
'umbilical scar'in viviparous species heals, and throughout adulthood, when sharks can …

Few studies have considered linkages of mobile predators across large spatial scales
despite their significant and often critical role in maintaining ecosystem function and health …

Sharks are a highly diverse predatory taxon and are regularly found in large, potentially
competitive, assemblages. However, the mechanisms that enable long-term coexistence …
