• Quantifying movement patterns for shark conservation at remote coral atolls in the Indian Ocean (2011, background): “Segregation can also be a reflection of differing physiological tolerances to environmental and other abiotic conditions that could provide gradients to separate juvenile and adult habitats (Morrissey and Gruber 1993b; Wetherbee et al. 1997; Pikitch et al. 2005; Carraro and Gladstone 2006; McAuley e”
• The status of coral reef ecology research in the Red Sea (2013, background): “…severe global environmental stress (Riegl and Piller 2003), included the Red Sea in a comparative review of global trajectories of the state of coral reefs (Pandolfi et al. 2003) or discussed the relationship between coral disease and bleaching (Rosenberg and Ben-Haim 2002; Danovaro et al. 2008).”
• Ontogenetic shifts in movement and habitat use of juvenile pigeye sharks Carcharhinus amboinensis in a tropical nearshore region (2011, background): “Further studies have examined how different shark species share space within these environments and have found that habitats are partitioned on both spatial and temporal scales (White & Potter 2004, Pikitch et al. 2005, DeAngelis et al. 2008).”
• Fishing down a Caribbean food web relaxes trophic cascades (2012, background): “…perezi, on the predation of mesopredators, available evidence from the region (Glover’s Atoll) has found no change in shark abundance between 2001 and 2004 (Pikitch et al. 2005), which implies that a mesopredator release is unlikely to be attributable to declines in the abundance of sharks.”
• Spatial and temporal movement patterns of a multi-species coastal reef shark aggregation (2011, unknown): “…partitioning is common in some species, with many studies concluding that juveniles and adults partition habitats by depth, temperature, salinity, or benthos type (Chapman et al. 2005, Pikitch et al. 2005, Simpfendorfer et al. 2005, McAuley et al. 2007, Yeiser et al. 2008, Speed et al. 2010).”
• Evaluating marine protected areas for the conservation of tropical coastal sharks (2012, background): “…then, little has been done to further examine the benefits this group of species gain from protection, with the exception of coral reef associated sharks living on insular reef systems (e.g. Chapman et al., 2005; Pikitch et al., 2005; Garla et al., 2006; Robbins et al., 2006; Heupel et al., 2010).”
• Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “…juvenile and adult habitats such as salinity (Simpfendorfer et al. 2005), temperature (McAuley et al. 2007), physical structures (Morrissey & Gruber 1993a, McAuley et al. 2007), benthic cover (Carraro & Gladstone 2006, Heithaus et al. 2006) and depth (Pikitch et al. 2005, Conrath & Musick 2008).”
