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 …

Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to
understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date …

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 …

Marine protected areas (MPA s) are increasingly advocated for the conservation and
management of sharks and rays. However, substantial uncertainty remains regarding which …

Elasmobranchs are heavily impacted by fishing. Catch statistics are grossly underestimated
due to missing data from various fishery sectors such as small-scale fisheries. Marine …

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Cooperative Shark Tagging Program (CSTP)
was initiated in 1962 as a collaborative effort between recreational anglers, the commercial …

Nursery areas are crucial for many elasmobranch species, providing benefits that increase
fitness and survival. Shark nurseries are well studied and our knowledge of their function …

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 …

Globally, marine animal distributions are shifting in response to a changing climate. These
shifts are usually considered at the species level, but individuals are likely to differ in how …
