- Global catches, exploitation rates, and rebuilding options for sharks (2013, background): “Time series data suggest that wider community rearrangements often follow declines in shark populations [1] and that the removal of largebodied coastal sharks that prey upon other large-bodied taxa are likely to have cascading consequences for highly productive coastal ecosystems that support other ”
- Dietary Niche Overlap in a Nearshore Elasmobranch Mesopredator Community (2011, unknown): “Despite the importance of mesopredators in other ecosystems, elasmobranch mesopredators (i.e. small sharks and batoids) have often been neglected because focus has been placed on elasmobranch top predators (i.e. large sharks) (Heithaus et al. 2010).”
- The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, background): “…manifest through risk effects may be mediated solely by spatiotemporal shifts in foraging locations or changes in foraging mode that could cascade to other trophic levels despite no obvious changes in population sizes ofmesopredators (e.g. Creel and Christianson 2008; Heithaus et al. 2008a, 2010).”
- Ecological importance of sharks and rays in a structural foodweb analysis in southern Brazil (2014, background): “Tropical marine regions, on the other hand, are known for their high diversity (e.g. Floeter and Gasparini, 2000; Joyeux et al., 2001; Heithaus et al., 2010).”
- Decadal trends in shark catches and effort from the New South Wales, Australia, Shark Meshing Program 1950–2010 (2011, background): “Similar niche occupation has been postulated for tiger sharks in more tropical environs (Heithaus et al. 2010).”
