• Socio-economic value and community benefits from shark-diving tourism in Palau: A sustainable use of reef shark populations (2012, unknown): “A number of studies have suggested that shark provisioning has the potential to alter feeding habits, metabolic rates, relative abundance, residency and reproductive patterns of sharks (Brunnschweiler and Baensch, 2011; Clua et al., 2010; Fitzpatrick et al., 2011; Maljkovic and Cote, 2010).”
• Global shark currency: the distribution, frequency, and economic value of shark ecotourism (2011, unknown): “Clua, Buray, Legendre, Mourier, & Planes, 2010 ; Laroche, Kock, Dill, & Oosthuizen, 2007 ; Malkjovic & Cote, 2011 ).”
• Variation in depth of whitetip reef sharks: does provisioning ecotourism change their behaviour? (2011, background): “petitive intra-specific interactions, resulting in injuries to many individuals (Clua et al. 2010).”
• Heat-seeking sharks: support for behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks (2012, background): “…from coastal electrical plants (Vaudo & Lowe 2006), ocean farming (Papastamatiou et al. 238 Speed et al.: Behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks 2010) and food provisioning by ecotourism operators (Laroche et al. 2007, Semeniuk & Rothley 2008, Clua et al. 2010, Fitzpatrick et al. 2011).”
• Business partner or simple catch? The economic value of the sicklefin lemon shark in French Polynesia (2011, unknown): “Our preliminary results from Moorea Island in 2005 show a risk of behavioural shift for the lemon sharks (Clua et al. 2010).”
• Don't bite the hand that feeds: assessing ecological impacts of provisioning ecotourism on an apex marine predator (2012, background): “Several studies have used in situ visual surveys to examine occurrence, behaviour and abundance of sharks at ecotourism feeding sites (e.g. Clua et al. 2010; Smith, Scarr & Scarpaci 2010).”
