• Ontogenetic shifts in movement and habitat use of juvenile pigeye sharks Carcharhinus amboinensis in a tropical nearshore region (2011, background): “4 for definitions Knip et al.: Habitat use of juvenile sharks hammerhead shark Sphyrna lewini (Duncan & Holland 2006) and the cownose ray Rhinoptera bonasus (Collins et al. 2008).”
• Habitat use, residency, and seasonal distribution of female leopard sharks Triakis semifasciata in Elkhorn Slough, California (2009, background): “…leopard sharks in Elkhorn Slough, patterns of habitat use are more influenced by prey availability than by predator avoidance, which has been shown to be an important factor influencing habitat use in other elasmobranch species (Morrissey & Gruber 1993, Heupel & Hueter 2002, Duncan & Holland 2006).”
• Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “For example, adult leopard sharks feed in nursery areas, although they shift from fish eggs to crustacean prey as they age (Ebert & Ebert 2005).”
• Communal or competitive? Stable isotope analysis provides evidence of resource partitioning within a communal shark nursery (2011, background): “Evidence of slow growth rates (Bush & Holland 2002, Lowe 2002, Duncan & Holland 2006) and high mortality rates of young sharks in nursery areas has been attributed in part to a lack of sufficient food resources (Manire & Gruber 1993, Duncan & Holland 2006).”
• Nursery habitat use and foraging ecology of the brown stingray Dasyatis lata determined from stomach contents, bulk and amino acid stable isotopes (2011, methodology): “These results suggest that competition for prey resources between these 2 sympatric species may contribute to high rates of starvation found for neonate scalloped hammerhead sharks within their Kāne‘ohe Bay nursery (Bush & Holland 2002, Lowe 2002, Duncan & Holland 2006).”
• The food limitation hypothesis for juvenile marine fish (2015, background): “Growth limitation is more obvious for larger fish with lower mortality rates, e.g., 1 11 year old juvenile common sole (Le Pape et al. 2003a) or sharks (Duncan and Holland 2006).”
• Spatial and temporal movement patterns of a multi-species coastal reef shark aggregation (2011, unknown): “…et al. 2007), coastal species (Klimley & Nelson 1981, Dudley et al. 2005, Heupel & Simpfendorfer 2005) and reef-associated sharks (Stevens 1984, McKibben & Nelson 1986, Gruber et al. 1988, Economakis & Lobel 1998, Smith & Pollard 1999, Pratt & Carrier 2001, Whitney et al. 2004, Hight & Lowe 2007).”
• Estuarine nursery areas provide a low-mortality environment for young bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas (2011, background): “In both cases the mortality levels were considered high and predation was thought to be a significant factor in the high levels of mortality, whereas in other nursery areas limited food resources are also known to cause mortality (Duncan & Holland 2006).”
