• Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, methodology): “In contrast, Duncan & Holland (2006) reported no shift in habitat use by juvenile scalloped hammerhead sharks in their nursery area, nor did Heupel et al. (2006b) find any change of home range size among bonnethead sharks over time, although the location changed possibly because of shifting prey…”
• Spatial and temporal movement patterns of a multi-species coastal reef shark aggregation (2011, unknown): “Aggregations have been observed in both adult and juvenile size classes for some species (e.g. Klimley & Nelson 1984, Duncan & Holland 2006) and often result in, or are attributable to, site fidelity and ‘refuging’ behaviour, where aggregations occur around a core daytime area and disperse at night…”
• Decadal trends in shark catches and effort from the New South Wales, Australia, Shark Meshing Program 1950–2010 (2011, background): “These catches may be indicative of a reproductive stage, which is known to move closer inshore (Dudley et al. 2005).”
• Stable isotope profiles of large marine predators: Viable indicators of trophic position, diet, and movement in sharks? (2011, background): “Dudley et al. (2005) reported a scarcity of pregnant dusky sharks other than those at or near term in KZNSB net catches, suggesting individuals are only present in the coastal region at the point of parturition.”
• New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records (July, 2017) (2017, unknown): “According to previous literature, Carcharhinus ob-scurus is a large shark that reaches 420 cm in length and 450 kg in weight (Compagno et al ., 1989; Dudley et al ., 2005).”
