Satellite tagging of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) and other pelagic sharks off eastern Australia: depth behaviour, temperature experience and movements (2010, unknown): “2005) and transmission times of 12–99 days (n = 5) for tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier; Heithaus et al. 2007).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, methodology): “For example, using modifications to ideal free distribution theory, as we have in Shark Bay, it is possible to measure changes in foraging distributions relative to that of food resources across gradients in disturbance (Heithaus et al. 2007b).”
Don't bite the hand that feeds: assessing ecological impacts of provisioning ecotourism on an apex marine predator (2012, background): “…telemetry studies to date on tiger shark behavioural ecology have been conducted in the Indian or Pacific Oceans (e.g. Holland et al. 1999; Heithaus et al. 2007; Meyer, Papastamatiou & Holland 2010; Nakamura et al. 2011; Papastamatiou et al. 2011; and references therein), highlighting a…”
Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “Coastal transient sharks often do not have specific home ranges, although tiger sharks in Western Australia appear to restrict their movements within large areas (>1000s of km2) over periods of days to weeks (Heithaus et al. 2007).”
Sharks in nearshore environments: models, importance, and consequences (2010, background): “Similarly, in both Shark Bay (Western Australia) and Hawaii, G. cuvier utilised shallow nearshore waters but also displayed large home ranges and frequently moved to deep offshore waters (Holland et al. 1999, Heithaus et al. 2007, Meyer et al. 2009).”
A review of shark satellite tagging studies (2011, background): “Various studies have examined possible effects of electronic tags or data loggers on the swimming efficiency of sharks, but results have been variable (Holland et al., 1993; Heithaus et al., 2007; Gleiss et al., 2009).”
Apparent Resource Partitioning and Trophic Structure of Large-Bodied Marine Predators in a Relatively Pristine Seagrass Ecosystem (2013, background): “Shark species show considerable variation in their abundance across seasons, and large species can move long distances away from Shark Bay (e.g. Heithaus 2001b, White & Potter 2004, Wirsing et al. 2006, Heithaus et al. 2007).”
Long-term movement patterns of tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier in Hawaii (2009, background): “Mark-recapture studies and satellite tagging have shown that some tiger sharks move very long distances (up to 8000 km) including across ocean basins (Kohler et al. 1998, 1999, Heithaus et al. 2007).”
