• The effects of shark cage-diving operations on the behaviour and movements of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, at the Neptune Islands, South Australia (2013, background): “However, the change to a marked diel occupancy in sharks at Site 2, where pinnipeds are less common, and which was not apparent prior to 2007, aligned with a substantial increase in SCD effort at that site, is consistent with a response to provisioning/berleying similar to that observed in other ela”
• Behavioural response of sicklefin lemon sharks Negaprion acutidens to underwater feeding for ecotourism purposes (2010, background): “…other elasmobranchs (rays) learned to associate specific locations with food rewards, with detrimental effects on their behaviour, and indirect effects on the surrounding marine ecosystems, leading to the concept of an ‘ecological trap’ (Corcoran 2006, Gaspar et al. 2008, Semeniuk & Rothley 2008).”
• Don't bite the hand that feeds: assessing ecological impacts of provisioning ecotourism on an apex marine predator (2012, background): “…in activity budgets promoted by human-mediated changes in the quality, quantity and delivery of food to wild animals by tracking changes in their stress physiology and metabolism, vitality, reproduction and movements (Knight & Cole 1995; Amo, Lopez & Martin 2006; Semeniuk & Rothley 2008).”
• Variation in depth of whitetip reef sharks: does provisioning ecotourism change their behaviour? (2011, background): “…ranging from minimal long-term impacts (Laroche et al. 2007; Meyer et al. 2009) to significant alterations in natural behaviour that may have direct biological effects for the species and indirect ecological effects to the ecosystem (Gaspar et al. 2008; Semeniuk and Rothley 2008; Clua et al. 2010).”
• Hematological differences between stingrays at tourist and non-visited sites suggest physiological costs of wildlife tourism. (2009, methodology): “Given the significantly higher numbers of ecto-dermal parasites and injuries of tourist stingrays compared to control, non-tourist animals (Semeniuk and Rothley, 2008), the negative relationship between Lct (corrected for the stingray size) and increasing injuries and parasite load (fitness PC 2004)”
