Social behaviour in sharks and rays: analysis, patterns and implications for conservation (2012, background): “Such aggregations have been correlated with numerous environmental and biological variables from geographic locations (Klimley and Nelson 1984) and time of year (Heupel and Simpfendorfer 2005; Robbins 2007) to areas of high prey abundance (Hulbert et al. 2005; Martin et al. 2009).”
Heat-seeking sharks: support for behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks (2012, background): “There is some evidence that moonlight can play a minor role in shark movement, with depth and sightings of some species varying according to moon phase (Pyle et al. 1996, West & Stevens 2001, Robbins 2007, Weng et al. 2007).”
Analysis of whale shark Rhincondon typus aggregations near South Ari Atoll, Maldives Archipelago (2010, background): “Age or sexual segregation has been reported in basking sharks Cetorhinus maximus, another large planktivorous shark, and is widespread in Selachimorphs (e.g. Klimley 1987, Bres 1993, Robbins 2007).”
