Foraging ecology of the early life stages of four sympatric shark species (2004, unknown): “Leopard sharks Triakis semifasciata in Tomales Bay, California, have been shown to move toward the inner bay with the incoming tide and toward the outer bay with the outgoing tide, also showing greater movement at night compared to day (Ackerman et al. 2000).”
Habitat use, residency, and seasonal distribution of female leopard sharks Triakis semifasciata in Elkhorn Slough, California (2009, background): “Ackerman et al. (2000) reported that leopard sharks move with the tide to forage in intertidal mudflats and then move back out with the ebb tide.”
Diel Movements of Bat Rays, Myliobatis californica, in Tomales Bay, California: Evidence for Behavioral Thermoregulation? (2000, background): “…well-suited to utilize tidal flows for transportation (Teaf 1979), which has been documented for sharks (Huish & Benedict 1978, Medved & Marshall 1983, Ackerman et al. 2000) as well as the Atlantic stingray,Dasyatis sabina(Teaf 1979), and the cownose ray, Rhinoptera bonasus(Smith & Merriner 1985).”
Heat-seeking sharks: support for behavioural thermoregulation in reef sharks (2012, background): “Previous studies have found a relationship be - tween shark movement with tide height or currents, which are generally attributed to foraging choices (Medved & Marshall 1983, Ackerman et al. 2000, Campos et al. 2009, Carlisle & Starr 2009, 2010).”
Complexities of coastal shark movements and their implications for management (2010, background): “…at night (Garla et al. 2006), as do male dogfish (Sims et al. 2001), sixgill sharks Hexanchus griseus (Andrews et al. 2009), leopard sharks (Ackerman et al. 2000, Hight & Lowe 2007), white tip reef sharks Triaenodon obesus (Whitney et al. 2007), grey reef sharks (McKibben & Nelson 1986),…”
Habitat use, movements and site fidelity of the gray smooth-hound shark (Mustelus californicus Gill 1863) in a newly restored southern California estuary (2011, background): “BSH are thought to move towards inner Tomales Bay during incoming and high tides to feed on benthic prey available in flooded mudflats, as previously documented on leopard sharks (Ackerman et al., 2000).”
Ontogenetic shifts in movement and habitat use of juvenile pigeye sharks Carcharhinus amboinensis in a tropical nearshore region (2011, background): “Both Ackerman et al. (2000) and Carlisle & Starr (2010) found that T. semifasciata moved with the tide to maximise foraging area by using regions that could only be reached at high tide.”
Review of Elasmobranch Behavioral Studies Using Ultrasonic Telemetry with Special Reference to the Lemon Shark, Negaprion Brevirostris, Around Bimini Islands, Bahamas (2001, background): “Blue sharks,Prionace glauca(Sciarotta & Nelson 1977), grey reef sharks,Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos(McKibben & Nelson 1986), and leopard sharks, Triakis semifasciata(Ackerman et al. 2000), are reported to be nocturnal.”
Elevated body temperatures of adult female leopard sharks, Triakis semifasciata, while aggregating in shallow nearshore embayments: Evidence for behavioral thermoregulation? (2007, background): “Ackerman et al. (2000) acoustically tracked adult leopard sharks in Tomales Bay, California, and found that they moved in and out of the bay with the tides.”
Movement and distribution of young bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas in a variable estuarine environment (2008, background): “Studies of several elasmobranch species including bat rays (Matern et al. 2000), leopard sharks (Ackerman et al. 2000) and sandbar sharks (Medved & Marshall 1983, Wetherbee & Rechisky 2000) all showed strong movement with tidal flow.”
Sharks in nearshore environments: models, importance, and consequences (2010, background): “Leopard sharks Triakis semifasciata in Tomales Bay, California (USA) also utilised tidal fluctuation by moving with incoming tides to exploit food resources in nearshore areas that could otherwise not be reached (Ackerman et al. 2000).”
The Influence of Environmental Variables on the Distribution and Abundance of Three Elasmobranchs in Tomales Bay, California (2003, background): “…predation) that can limit an elasmobranch’s ability to occupy its entire physiological niche, elasmobranch distributions in bay or shallow water habitats are best predicted by abiotic factors (Roughgarden & Diamond 1986, Dunson & Travis 1991, Huey 1991, Ackerman et al. 2000, Matern et al. 2000).”
Importance of environmental and biological drivers in the presence and space use of a reef‑associated shark (2014, background): “For example, factors such as temperature, tidal state and day length have been linked to shark presence and movement on daily and seasonal time scales (e.g. Ackerman et al. 2000, Grubbs & Musick 2007, Heupel 2007).”
