• Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays (2013, methodology): “Species habitats were classified based on the findings from the workshops combined with a review of the primary literature, FAO fisheries guides and field guides (Cavanagh et al., 2003; Cavanagh and Gibson, 2007; Cavanagh et al., 2008; Gibson et al., 2008; Camhi et al., 2009; Kyne et al., 2012).”
• The conservation status of pelagic sharks and rays : report of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group Pelagic Shark Red List Workshop (2009, background): “Although it is not targeted and generally not used, this species is taken as bycatch in pelagic driftnets targeting swordfish, on surface longlines and in fixed tuna traps in the Mediterranean (Muñoz-Chapuli et al. 1993; Cavanagh and Gibson 2007).”
• You can swim but you can't hide: the global status and conservation of oceanic pelagic sharks and rays (2008, methodology): “It is known to suffer high mortality from bycatch in the intensive pelagic longlines, driftnets, purse seines and traps targeting tuna and swordfish in the Mediterranean Sea (Muñoz-Chapuli et al., 1993; Cavanagh and Gibson, 2007).”
• The Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: Estimates, Patterns, and Threats (2010, background): “According to Cavanagh and Gibson [123], nine of these elasmobranch species may not breed in the Mediterranean, while some are rare because the Mediterranean represents the edge of their distribution ranges.”
• Overview of the conservation status of the marine fishes of the Mediterranean Sea (2011, methodology): “…the copper shark, Carcharhinus brachyurus, the dusky shark, Carcharhinus obscurus, and the spinner shark, Carcharhinus brevipinna, pose a particular dilemma as it is not known if these species are rare in the Mediterranean, or just rarely caught and reported there (Cavanagh and Gibson 2007).”
• Unravelling the ecological role and trophic relationships of uncommon and threatened elasmobranchs in the western Mediterranean Sea (2015, background): “Sharks and rays in the Mediterranean Basin represent approximately 7% of all currently existing elasmobranchs worldwide (Cavanagh & Gibson 2007).”
• The use of opportunistic data for IUCN Red List assessments (2015, background): “In this region, such lists have been compiled for mammals (Temple & Cuttelod, 2009), dragonflies (Riservato et al., 2009), freshwater fishes (Smith & Darwall, 2006), cartilaginous fishes (Cavanagh & Gibson, 2007) and amphibians and reptiles (Cox, Chanson & Stuart, 2006).”
