Social preferences and network structure in a population of reef manta rays
Social preferences and network structure in a population of reef manta rays Robert J. Y. Perryman, Stephanie K. Venables, Ricardo F. Tapilatu, Andrea D. Marshall, Culum Brown, Daniel W. Franks ABSTRACT: Understanding how individual behavior shapes the structure and ecology of populations is key to species conservation and management. Like many elasmobranchs, manta rays are
Protection from illegal fishing and shark recovery restructures mesopredatory fish communities
Protection from illegal fishing and shark recovery restructures mesopredatory fish communities on a coral reef Conrad W. Speed, Matthew J. Rees, Katherine Cure, Brigit Vaughan, Mark G. Meekan ABSTRACT: The recovery of communities of predatory fishes within a no‐take marine reserve after the eradication of illegal fishing provides an opportunity to examine the role of

Effects of temperature on the reproductive physiology of female elasmobranchs
Effects of temperature on the reproductive physiology of female elasmobranchs: The case of the narrownose smooth-hound shark (Mustelus schmitti) Elisio M, Awruch CA, Massa AM, Macchi GJ, Somoza GM ABSTRACT: The knowledge of how temperature influences elasmobranchs reproductive physiology allows a better understanding of their reproductive patterns. This study describes the relationship between temperature fluctuations
