Scarring patterns and relative mortality rates of Indian Ocean whale sharks (2008, background): “…of boat strikes, it needs to be recognized that these animals are highly migratory (Eckert & Stewart, 2001; Eckert et al., 2002; Rowat & Gore, 2006; Wilson et al., 2006; Bradshaw, 2007; Castro et al., 2007) and that the healed scars observed at the study sites may have been accrued in distant…”
Ocean‐scale prediction of whale shark distribution (2012, background): “It is distributed in oceanic and coastal tropical waters (Last & Stevens, 1994; Compagno, 2001) from 30 N to 35 S, spending most of its time (often > 80%) at the surface (waters < 20 m deep), with regular excursions to depths of 300–500 m during the day when transiting the open ocean (Wilson et al.,”
Analysis of whale shark Rhincondon typus aggregations near South Ari Atoll, Maldives Archipelago (2010, background): “…an equal probability of capture (Pledger et al. 2003), which for a transient marine species known to occupy a large geographic and vertical range (i.e. up to 1200 m or more in depth; Eckert & Stewart 2001, Stewart & Wilson 2005, Wilson et al. 2006, Wilson et al. 2007) is almost certainly false.”
Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “This behaviour has been observed in whale (Wilson et al. 2006), white (Klimley et al. 2002, Bonfil et al. 2005, Bruce et al. 2006), tiger (Tricas 1981, Holland et al. 1999), and school sharks Galeorhinus galeus (West & Stevens 2001).”
Aggregations of juvenile whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in the Gulf of Tadjoura, Djibouti (2007, background): “In this Australian locality, whale sharks target surface swarms of a tropical krill, Pseudeuphausia latifrons (Taylor 1994; Wilson and Newbound 2001; Wilson et al. 2001; Wilson et al. 2006 ).”
Satellite tagging of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) and other pelagic sharks off eastern Australia: depth behaviour, temperature experience and movements (2010, unknown): “…pelagic W sh and has been reported in several other pelagic shark species including white, whale, basking, salmon, porbeagle ( Lamna nasus ) and Caribbean reef sharks ( Carcharhinus perezi ; Sims et al. 2003; Wilson et al. 2006; Weng et al. 2005, 2007a, b; Chapman et al. 2007; Pade et al. 2009).”
Protected species use of a coastal marine migratory corridor connecting marine protected areas (2014, background): “Hence, as with device attachments to sea turtles in general, it is important to aim to quantify the impacts (e.g. drag) of the attachments on flatback turtles (e.g. Witt et al. 2011; Jones et al. 2013).”
Drivers of animal migration and implications in changing environments (2016, unknown): “Both whale sharks (Rhincodon typus; Wilson et al. 2006) and basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus; Sims et al.”
Distribution, site affinity and regional movements of the manta ray, Manta alfredi (Krefft, 1868), along the east coast of Australia (2011, background): “Sims et al. (2003) reported a tagged basking shark that travelled at least 1878 km in 77 days, and a whale shark was shown to travel at least 1501 km from Ningaloo reef to the north-east Indian Ocean in 57 days (Wilson et al. 2006).”
