Living on the edge: dugongs prefer to forage in microhabitats that allow escape from rather than avoidance of predators (2007, background): “Our fishing effort was intensive and temporally consistent (Wirsing et al. 2006).”
Apparent Resource Partitioning and Trophic Structure of Large-Bodied Marine Predators in a Relatively Pristine Seagrass Ecosystem (2013, background): “Tissue samples were collected from sharks during drumline fishing from 2005 to 2011 (see Heithaus 2001b, Wirsing et al. 2006 for details).”
Long-term movement patterns of tiger sharks Galeocerdo cuvier in Hawaii (2009, background): “Tiger shark catch rates vary seasonally at the latitudinal extremes of their distribution, indicating that seasonal migrations may occur in some areas (Heithaus 2001, Wirsing et al. 2006).”
Validating the use of baited remote underwater video surveys for assessing the diversity, distribution and abundance of sharks in the Bahamas (2011, background): “…longline surveys have been utilised in a number of shark ecology studies, including those investigating declines in shark abundance (Simpfendorfer et al. 2002), habitat use and demographic population structure (Pikitch et al. 2005) and variation in seasonal abundance (Wirsing et al. 2006).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, methodology): “…sea turtles (especially Cheloniamydas andCaretta caretta), dugongs (Dugong dugon), Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops cf. aduncus), rays and tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) (e.g. Preen et al. 1997; Heithaus 2001b; Heithaus et al. 2005; Wirsing et al. 2006; Vaudo and Heithaus 2009).”
A multiple instrument approach to quantifying the movement patterns and habitat use of tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier) and Galapagos sharks (Carcharhinus galapagensis) at French Frigate Shoals, Hawaii (2010, background): “Tiger shark catch rates vary seasonally at the latitudinal extremes of their distribution, indicating that seasonal migrations may occur in some areas (Heithaus 2001; Wirsing et al. 2006 ).”
A comparison of shark and wolf research reveals similar behavioral responses by prey (2011, background): “2002) and fluctuate in abundance with seasonal water temperature from a high in February to a low in July (Wirsing et al. 2006).”
Long-term movements of tiger sharks satellite-tagged in Shark Bay, Western Australia (2007, background): “%) of the 523 sharks tagged in the bay from 1997 to 2005 have been recaptured, acoustic monitoring suggests that sharks regularly return to the location where they were tagged (Heithaus 2001; Wirsing et al. 2006).”
