Variation in depth of whitetip reef sharks: does provisioning ecotourism change their behaviour? (2011, background): “Increased vertical activity at night is common in shark species (Standora and Nelson 1977; Klimley and Nelson 1984; Sims et al. 2001; Sundstrom et al. 2001; Heupel and Simpfendorfer 2005) and has often been linked to foraging behaviour (Klimley and Nelson 1984; Sims et al. 2001).”
Foraging ecology of the early life stages of four sympatric shark species (2004, unknown): “In the future, ultrasonic telemetry techniques (see Sundström et al. 2001 and references therein) should be used to determine activity space and habitat use of these shark species on a finer scale.”
Effects of environmental conditions on predator–prey interactions between white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) and Cape fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) at Seal Island, South Africa (2006, background): “Activity peaks of predators should be correlated with periods when environmental and biological factors are optimal for exploitation of a selected prey item (Rogers et al. 1984; Sundström et al. 2001; Heithaus 2004).”
Movements and site fidelity of the giant manta ray, Manta birostris, in the Komodo Marine Park, Indonesia (2008, unknown): “Acoustic arrays have proven a valuable tool in this and other studies (Klimley and Halloway 1999; Sundstrom et al. 2001; Voegeli et al. 2001; Heupel and Simpfendorfer 2005) and are ideal for species that return to predictable locations.”
Ultrasonic tracking of Greenland sharks, Somniosus microcephalus, under Arctic ice (2004, background): “Although the range of speeds estimated for Greenland sharks (Table 2) shows considerable overlap with other shark species (see Table 1 in Sundström et al. 2001), it contains values that are considerably slower than speeds estimated for known pinniped predators such as the white shark (0.89 m s)1;…”
Estimation of Shark Home Ranges using Passive Monitoring Techniques (2004, unknown): “Examination of shark home range patterns has been conducted for several species (Nelson 1990, Sundström et al. 2001).”
The implications of philopatry in sharks for the management of shark fisheries (2004, unknown): “Sundström et al. (2001) described tagging studies designed to determine if adult female lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris) are philopatric for their natal nursery to mate or give birth in the Bahamas, and Feldheim et al. (2002), reporting on the results of the Bahamas studies using both tagging…”
Migration of an upper trophic level predator, the salmon shark Lamna ditropis, between distant ecoregions (2008, background): “In wide-ranging pelagic fishes there are few opportunities to make direct observations (Sundstrom et al. 2001).”
The role of learning in shark behaviour (2009, background): “Some species display site fidelity (Sundström et al. 2001; Sims et al. 2006a) whereas others make long distance migrations (Bonfil et al.”
Shark nursery areas: concepts, definition, characterization and assumptions (2007, background): “…et al. in press), lemon sharks Negaprion brevirostris at Bimini, Bahamas (e.g. Gruber et al. 1988, Morrissey & Gruber 1993a,b, Gruber et al. 2001, Sundström et al. 2001, Clermont-Edrén & Gruber 2005), scalloped hammerhead sharks Sphyrna lewini in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii (e.g. Clarke 1971, Holland…”
Movement patterns of juvenile lemon sharks Negaprion brevirostris within Atol das Rocas, Brazil: a nursery characterized by tidal extremes (2007, background): “…Atol das Rocas suggest that lemon sharks expand their home range and activity space as they age, which is in agreement with studies on movement patterns and habitat use of various-sized lemon sharks on their nursery grounds in Bimini, the Bahamas (Morrissey & Gruber 1993a, Sundstrom et al. 2001).”
Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, methodology): “Despite the purported functional and behavioural importance of sharks to marine ecosystems, aspects of their biology and ecology remain poorly understood due to difficulties in obtaining in situ data (Nelson 1977, Sundström et al. 2001).”
Deep danger: intra-specific predation risk influences habitat use and aggregation formation of juvenile lemon sharks Negaprion brevirostris (2012, methodology): “As individuals approach 1 m TL they expand their home-ranges, moving further offshore into deeper habitats seeking larger prey items (Sundström et al. 2001, Newman et al. 2010).”
