Ontogenetic changes in the diet of the sevengill shark (Notorynchus cepedianus) (2002, background): “The diet of tiger sharks, Galeocerdo cuvier, was found to differ along the Western Australian coast, in part as a result of the absence of some prey items from certain areas (Simpfendorfer et al. 2001).”
FOOD AVAILABILITY AND TIGER SHARK PREDATION RISK INFLUENCE BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN HABITAT USE (2002, background): “Tiger sharks in this area consume primarily dugongs, sea snakes, and sea turtles, but also include rays, sea birds, and teleosts in their diet (Heithaus 2001c, Simpfendorfer et al. 2001).”
The Biology of Tiger Sharks, Galeocerdo Cuvier, in Shark Bay, Western Australia: Sex Ratio, Size Distribution, Diet, and Seasonal Changes in Catch Rates (2001, background): “Growing to sizes of 5.5 m, they are capable of consuming large-bodied prey, and have a highly varied diet that includes teleosts, elasmobranchs, birds, sea snakes, turtles, marine mammals, crustaceans, molluscs, and anthropogenic food sources (Randall 1992, Simpfendorfer 1992, Lowe et al. 1996, Sim”
Food habits and ontogenetic changes in the diet of the sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, in Hawaii (2006, background): “These factors have all been cited as potential contributors to ontogenetic change in other shark species (Wetherbee et al. 1990; Cortés and Gruber 1990; Lowe et al. 1996; Simpfendorfer et al. 2001; Alonso et al. 2002; Wetherbee and Cortés 2004).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, background): “In Shark Bay, for example, bottlenose dolphins are very rarely found in the stomach contents of tiger sharks (Heithaus 2001b; Simpfendorfer et al. 2001), yet they are frequently attacked (Heithaus 2001a) and respond markedly to risk of tiger shark predation (Heithaus and Dill 2002).”
Effects of body size, age and maturity stage on diet in a large shark: ecological and applied implications (2008, background): “…relative effects of these traits because the sharks usually experience ontogenetic dietary shifts (e.g., Cliff and Dudley 1991; Lowe et al. 1996; Simpfendorfer et al. 2001; Ebert 2002; Lucifora et al. 2005a), have a large absolute range of body size, mature over a range of sizes and ages, and…”
Habitat partitioning among four elasmobranch species in nearshore, shallow waters of a subtropical embayment in Western Australia (2004, background): “on the central west coast of Australia, contains the most extensive and diverse seagrass meadows in the world (Walker 1989) and an abundant and diverse elasmobranch fauna ( Simpfendorfer et al. 2001a, 2001b; White et al. 2004; R. McAuley, WA Dept.”
Shark-inflicted injury frequencies, escape ability, and habitat use of green and loggerhead turtles (2002, background): “…in the stomachs of tiger sharks captured in Shark Bay, Western Australia, and tiger shark tooth marks have been observed on the carapaces of both the turtle species in our study, suggesting that turtles in this area may face substantial risk of predation (Heithaus 2001b; Simpfendorfer et al. 2001).”
Apparent Resource Partitioning and Trophic Structure of Large-Bodied Marine Predators in a Relatively Pristine Seagrass Ecosystem (2013, background): “The proportion of large-bodied prey in tiger shark diets increases with shark size (Simpfendorfer 1992, Simpfendorfer et al. 2001).”
Sizing up the ecological role of sharks as predators (2014, background): “Another exception would in clude large predators that consume large, lower trophic level prey (e.g. tiger sharks consuming herbivores such as dugong and sea turtles; Simpfendorfer et al. 2001).”
BEHAVIORALLY MEDIATED INDIRECT INTERACTIONS IN MARINE COMMUNITIES AND THEIR CONSERVATION IMPLICATIONS (2003, background): “In Shark Bay, Australia, adult dolphins are seldom eaten by tiger sharks (Heithaus 2001, Simpfendorfer et al. 2001); thus from a purely trophic perspective, the link between sharks and dolphins is a minor one.”
Reproductive biology of the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) in Hawaii (2007, result): “A similar pattern has been found in previous work on this species, though large (‡350 cm) tiger sharks of both sexes were caught more frequently in Hawaii than in Australia (Stevens and McLoughlin 1991; Simpfendorfer 1992; Simpfendorfer et al. 2001) and the eastern US (Branstetter et al.”
