• Sharks in nearshore environments: models, importance, and consequences (2010, background): “For example, young sharks may utilise shallow or low salinity environments to decrease predation risk (Simpfendorfer et al. 2005, Wetherbee et al. 2007) or to forage in areas where food resources are most abundant (Simpfendorfer & Milward 1993); adults may exploit habitats to target high quality…”
• Deep danger: intra-specific predation risk influences habitat use and aggregation formation of juvenile lemon sharks Negaprion brevirostris (2012, methodology): “Acoustic transmitters (Sono - tronics® CHP-87-L, battery life 18 mo) were placed both externally and internally (for description see Sundström et al. 2001, Wetherbee et al. 2007).”
• Sizing up the ecological role of sharks as predators (2014, background): “In general, the juvenile life stages of many coastal sharks tend to be found in shallow waters—possibly to minimise predation risk (Bran - stetter 1990, Heupel & Simpfendorfer 2005, Wetherbee et al. 2007).”
• Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “…(Chapman et al. 2005); ‘long-term site fidelity’ (Huveneers et al. 2006, Lowe et al. 2006, DeAngelis et al. 2008); ‘seasonal site fidelity’ (Dicken et al. 2007); ‘site attachment’ (Gruber et al. 1988, Wetherbee et al. 2007, Yeiser et al. 2008); and ‘natal site-fidelity’ (Chapman et al. 2009).”
• Social behaviour in sharks and rays: analysis, patterns and implications for conservation (2012, background): “This extended opportunity for juvenile lemon sharks to interact has clearly influenced the behavioural strategy of this species with large aggregations observed in both juvenile and adult phases of this species (Gruber et al. 1988; Wetherbee et al. 2007; Guttridge et al. 2009a).”
