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).”
Spatial and temporal movement patterns of a multi-species coastal reef shark aggregation (2011, unknown): “Several hypotheses have been posed to explain reef shark aggregations, such as refuging (Klimley & Nelson 1984), predator avoidance (Wetherbee et al. 2007), courtship, mating and pre-pupping (McKibben & Nelson 1986).”
A review of shark satellite tagging studies (2011, background): “…Hawaii and back, spending themajority of the year in themiddle of the Pacific Ocean, in a localized area between the two coasts, termed the “Shared Offshore Forage Area or SOFA” (Boustany et al., 2002; Dewar et al., 2004; Domeier and Nasby-Lucas, 2008; Weng et al., 2007a,b; Jorgensen et al., 2009).”
Pelagic habitat characterization of loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta, in the North Pacific Ocean (1997–2006): Insights from satellite tag tracking and remotely sensed data (2008, background): “great white sharks, 2 likely predators in this general region, are not known to be foraging heavily in the pelagic North Pacific (Holland et al., 1999; Weng et al., 2007).”
Applications and future challenges in marine species distribution modeling (2011, background): “satellite tagging studies reveal vast migrations of white sharks in the oceans (Bonfil et al., 2005; Weng et al., 2007a; Domeier and Nasby-Lucas, 2008; Bonfil et al., 2010).”
Movements of the white shark Carcharodon carcharias in the North Atlantic Ocean (2017, background): “…the case in numerous studies on white shark movements in the Pacific and Indian oceans (Boustany et al. 2002, Bonfil et al. 2005, Bruce et al. 2006, Weng et al. 2007a,b, Jorgensen et al. 2010, 2012, Nasby-Lucas et al. 2009, Domeier 2012, Bruce & Bradford 2012, Domeier & Nasby-Lucas 2012, Duffy et…”
Two-year migration of adult female white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) reveals widely separated nursery areas and conservation concerns (2013, background): “Electronic tagging studies have presented seemingly contradictory results, with both sexes found to follow wide-ranging migratory patterns [3-8], with one female tracked across the Indian Ocean [6].”
BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH: Fidelity to foraging sites, consistency of migration routes and habitat modulation of home range by sea turtles (2010, result): “, 2007), our study gave the first example showing that a specific individual may invest in dual strategies, although similar findings have been recorded in sharks (Weng et al., 2007).”
Diel variation in beaked whale diving behavior (2008, background): “In assessing factors that influence the susceptibility of beaked whales to impacts from mid-frequency sonar, Zimmer and Tyack (2007) discuss how beaked whales might react to sounds of predators such as killer whales.”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Top predators may also play an important functional role in connecting distant ecosystems [113] due to their mobility and tendency to move between specific areas [114].”
Migration of an upper trophic level predator, the salmon shark Lamna ditropis, between distant ecoregions (2008, background): “The white shark Carcharodon carcharias makes long distance seasonal migrations between the coast of California and a region of the Subtropical Gyre midway between Baja California and Hawaii, though the life history functions of this migration are as yet unknown (Weng et al. 2007).”
Social behaviour in sharks and rays: analysis, patterns and implications for conservation (2012, background): “An example of the latter is the aggregation of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias, Lamnidae), albeit sparse over a large area, during a seasonal migration from the coast of Baja, California, to a region of the eastern Pacific Ocean (Weng et al. 2007; Jorgensen et al. 2009).”
