Movements of the white shark Carcharodon carcharias in the North Atlantic Ocean (2017, background): “Thus, while most published white shark speed estimates are 0.3 to 1.3 m s−1 (Strong et al. 1992, Klimley et al. 2001, Bruce et al. 2006, Johnson et al. 2009), we determined 2 m s−1 to be a suitable diffusion parameter in the model to avoid spatial constraint of model likelihoods should sharks in…”
predatory behaviour of white sharks (carcharodon carcharias) at seal island, south africa (2005, methodology): “Based on trackings using a radio acoustic positioning (RAP) system, Klimley et al. (2001) suggested that white sharks at An‹ o Nuevo Island, California, may ‘listen in’ on one another, possibly in readiness to exploit a pinniped kill made by any of them.”
Movements, behavior and habitat preferences of juvenile white sharks Carcharodon carcharias in the eastern Pacific (2007, background): “Shortterm acoustic tracks off North America have revealed that sharks prefer shallower depths (0 to 50 m) on the continental shelf (Carey et al. 1982, Goldman et al. 1996, Goldman 1997, Klimley et al. 2001).”
Ultrasonic tracking of Greenland sharks, Somniosus microcephalus, under Arctic ice (2004, background): “In areas where pinnipeds are highly concentrated, such as the South Farallon and Año Nuevo Islands off California, white sharks have demonstrated site fidelity (Klimley et al. 1992, 2001; Goldman and Anderson 1999).”
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): “Circumstantial evidence from Año Nuevo Island (Klimley et al. 2001) suggests that white sharks prey on pinnipeds at night and it is possible that attacks may be occurring at Seal Island at night.”
Sex-specific and individual preferences for hunting strategies in white sharks (2016, background): “While associated with pinniped rookeries, sharks are thought to patrol parallel to the shoreline- or target-specific locations where prey may be vulnerable (e.g. entry or haul-out sites, Goldman & Anderson 1999; Klimley et al. 2001; Martin, Rossmo & Hammerschlag 2009; Jewell et al. 2014).”
Hunting patterns and geographic profiling of white shark predation (2009, background): “…tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier (Péron & Lesueur), Heithaus et al., 2002; Heithaus & Dill, 2006; white sharks Carcharodon carcharias (Linnaeus), Klimley et al., 1992, 2001a,b; Goldman & Anderson, 1999], sample sizes were small, documented predation events were rare, and/or predator–prey…”
