Geographic and ontogenetic variation in the diet and daily ration of the bonnethead shark, Sphyrna tiburo, from the eastern Gulf of Mexico (2007, background): “Gastric evacuation time increased by as much as 50% when meal size was increased by a factor of 8.4 for scalloped hammerhead sharks, S. lewini (Bush and Holland 2002).”
Shark nursery areas: concepts, definition, characterization and assumptions (2007, background): “…sharpnose sharks Rhizoprionodon terraenovae which are among the smallest of coastal species are born offshore, recruit to coastal bays in spring (Carlson 2002, Parsons & Hoffmayer 2005) and then appear to move throughout adjacent coastal habitats during summer (J. K. Carlson & M. R. Heupel…”
Diel movement patterns of the Hawaiian stingray, Dasyatis lata: implications for ecological interactions between sympatric elasmobranch species (2003, background): “, Podopthalmus vigil) are also present, but in lower abundance and densities (Bush and Holland 2002).”
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).”
