Habitat loss is accelerating a global extinction crisis. Conservation requires understanding
links between species and habitats. Emerging research is revealing important associations …

The scientific study of networks-computer, social, and biological-has received an enormous
amount of interest in recent years. However, the network approach has been applied to the …

Over the last decade, the study of shark biology has benefited from the development,
refinement, and rapid expansion of novel techniques and advances in technology. These …

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
rays (Class Chondrichthyes, Subclass Elasmobranchii). Yet despite burgeoning descriptions …

Non-consumptive or risk effects imposed by predators can influence prey behaviour over
different spatio-temporal scales. Prey vulnerability to predation can also be dependent on …

Elasmobranchs are highly diverse in movement, sensory capacity, and behavioural
responses to the environment, leading to differences in the function and nature of …

Understanding how individual behavior shapes the structure and ecology of populations is
key to species conservation and management. Like many elasmobranchs, manta rays are …

Identifying the driving forces behind oceanic pelagic shark movements is key to a better
understanding of their life history. Some oceanic pelagic shark species have been shown to …

The behaviour and spatial use patterns of juvenile manta rays within their critical nursery
habitats remain largely undocumented. Here, we report on the horizontal movements and …
