Shark and ray provisioning: functional insights into behavioral, ecological and physiological responses across multiple scales (2015, background): “Overall, all studies demonstrate that the propensity to respond to provisioning operations varies both among elasmobranch species and among individuals within each species (Laroche et al. 2007, Gaspar et al. 2008, Brunnschweiler & Barnett 2013, Huveneers et al. 2013, Brunnschweiler et al. 2014).”
Biological effects, conservation potential, and research priorities of shark diving tourism. (2015, background): “Laroche et al. (2007) studied the effects of dive tourism attracting and provisioning on white sharks aggregating to hunt Cape fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) at a colony in South Africa.”
The role of learning in shark behaviour (2009, background): “For white sharks, it is clear from the aforementioned studies that in general conditions are rarely met for sharks to develop a learned response, indicating that moderate levels of tourism activity may not have a broad impact on white shark behaviour across a wide range of space and time scales (Lar”
Social preferences of juvenile lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris (2009, background): “These topics are of huge interest in other taxa (Brown & Laland 2003) and could have important implications for sharks in the context of fisheries and ecotourism (Fernö et al. 2006; Laroche et al. 2007) which provide a fruitful field for future studies.”
Behavioural response of sicklefin lemon sharks Negaprion acutidens to underwater feeding for ecotourism purposes (2010, unknown): “Evolution 58:2332–2342 Ferreira C, Ferreira T (1996) Observations on white sharks along the South African coast.”
Don't bite the hand that feeds: assessing ecological impacts of provisioning ecotourism on an apex marine predator (2012, background): “The aforementioned acoustic telemetry studies generally focused on relatively short-term (days to months) and smallscale (tens of km) behavioural modifications of relatively small site-attached reef species (i.e. not apex predators, with the exception of Laroche et al. 2007).”
Variation in depth of whitetip reef sharks: does provisioning ecotourism change their behaviour? (2011, background): “For example, Laroche et al. (2007) suggests that moderate levels of bait-associated ecotourism have only a minor impact on the behaviour of white sharks hunting around Seal Island in False Bay, South Africa.”
Sex-specific and individual preferences for hunting strategies in white sharks (2016, background): “Available evidence suggests that cagediving operations will alter the short-term movements of white sharks but are unlikely to influence long-term migrations (Strong et al. 1992; Laroche et al. 2007; Huveneers et al. 2013; Gallagher et al. 2015).”
The effects of shark cage-diving operations on the behaviour and movements of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, at the Neptune Islands, South Australia (2013, background): “Behavioural changes in the context of provisioning or attraction as a result of cage-dive operations may manifest as an acceleration in response time and/or increased contact time between target species and the tourism operation (Laroche et al. 2007; Maljkovic and Côté 2011), arrival at the ‘provisi”
Heat-seeking sharks: support for behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks (2012, background): “…from coastal electrical plants (Vaudo & Lowe 2006), ocean farming (Papastamatiou et al. 238 Speed et al.: Behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks 2010) and food provisioning by ecotourism operators (Laroche et al. 2007, Semeniuk & Rothley 2008, Clua et al. 2010, Fitzpatrick et al. 2011).”
Costs of group-living for a normally solitary forager: effects of provisioning tourism on southern stingrays Dasyatis americana (2008, background): “…species (e.g. increased predation frequency on damselfish nests by target-fed labrid species; Milazzo et al. 2006), and the seasonality of the tourism attraction, in which changes in behaviours are consequently temporary (e.g. white shark provisioning in South Africa; Laroche et al. 2007).”
