Movements and habitat use of reef manta rays off eastern Australia: offshore excursions, deep diving and eddy affinity revealed by satellite telemetry (2014, background): “…most of the movement data available for manta rays had been derived from re-sightings of photographically identified individuals over rela- tively long time periods (e.g. Kashiwagi et al. 2010, Couturier et al. 2011) or from acoustic telemetry data (e.g. Dewar et al. 2008, Deakos et al. 2011).”
Characteristics of a manta ray Manta alfredi population off Maui, Hawaii, and implications for management (2011, background): “Strong site fidelity occurring at specific feeding and cleaning stations (e.g. Homma et al. 1999) has created popular tourist attractions where visitors pay to swim or SCUBA dive with manta rays (Clark 2001, Dewar et al. 2008).”
Size and structure of a photographically identified population of manta rays Manta alfredi in southern Mozambique (2011, background): “groups, shallow bays, tidal channels and offshore seamounts and pinnacles (Dewar et al. 2008; Luiz et al. 2009; Marshall et al. 2009).”
Social behaviour in sharks and rays: analysis, patterns and implications for conservation (2012, methodology): “…(Manta birostris, Mobulidae) and the whale shark (Rhincodon typus, Rhincodontidae), for example, is generally aimed at describing site fidelity and ranging behaviour of individuals between areas/populations (Dewar et al. 2008), with a view to conserving known aggregation sites (Riley et al. 2010).”
Vulnerabilities and fisheries impacts: The uncertain future of manta and devil rays (2016, background): “For example, benefits for spatial protection established for M. birostris aggregating in specific sites within the Komodo Marine Park, Indonesia (Dewar et al., 2008) and off Yucatan, Mexico (Graham et al., 2012) are anticipated.”
Research Priorities to Support Effective Manta and Devil Ray Conservation (2018, background): “…aggregation sites have revealed that individuals visit these areas to attend shallow cleaning stations, engage in courtship behavior, and forage on ephemeral food resources (Dewar et al., 2008; Jaine et al., 2012; Weeks et al., 2015; Armstrong et al., 2016; Burgess, 2017; Couturier et al., 2018).”
Paired-laser photogrammetry as a simple and accurate system for measuring the body size of free-ranging manta rays Manta alfredi (2010, background): “In some parts of the world they can be reliably seen congregating around rich food sources and cleaning stations (Homma et al. 1999, Clark 2001, Dewar et al. 2008).”
Movements of the reef manta ray (Manta alfredi) in the Red Sea using satellite and acoustic telemetry (2015, background): “2014) or acoustic tags (Dewar et al. 2008) to understand manta ecology.”
From monsoons to mantas: seasonal distribution of Manta alfredi in the Maldives (2011, background): “…on zooplankton, and although relatively little is known about their ecology, it is assumed that their distribution is influenced by the availability of suitable planktonic food (Notarbartolo-di-Sciara and Hillyer, 1989; Homma et al., 1999; Lobel, 2003; Dewar et al., 2008; Luiz et al., 2009).”
Heat-seeking sharks: support for behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks (2012, background): “In contrast, tide can have an important influence on the movement of other species (Medved & Marshall 1983, Ackerman et al. 2000, Dewar et al. 2008, Campos et al. 2009, Carlisle & Starr 2009, 2010), which seems to be re - lated mostly to foraging (but see O’Shea et al. 2010).”
