Towards a new understanding of elasmobranch hearing
Towards a new understanding of elasmobranch hearing Megan F. Mickle, Dennis M. Higgs ABSTRACT: Elasmobranchs are of important global conservation concern, however their hearing abilities, use of sound, and responses to anthropogenic noise pollution are all vastly understudied, despite noise pollution being an ever-increasing concern to global fish populations. This review focuses on the hearing
Shark Detection with Drones for Human Safety and Environmental Protection
SharkSpotter: Shark Detection with Drones for Human Safety and Environmental Protection Nabin Sharma, Muhammed Saqib, Paul Scully-Power, Michael Blumenstein ABSTRACT: Unprovoked shark attacks are one of the major types of risks that threaten human’s lives in coast regions especially in tourist areas.

Shark Side of the Moon: Are Shark Attacks Related to Lunar Phase? Lindsay A. French, Stephen R. Midway, David H. Evans, George H. Burgess ABSTRACT: Animals across taxa have shown behaviors linked to moon phase (or the proxy of lunar illumination), and marine organisms are well-documented to calibrate certain activities with the moon. Few studies

Shark bite survivors advocate for non-lethal shark mitigation measures in Australia Michael J. Rosciszewski-Dodgson, Giuseppe T. Cirella ABSTRACT: As the annual number of shark-related human casualties in Australia increases, there is a need for policymakers to grasp how policy is created in the discourse of shark bite incidences. This is discussed in relation to individuals

Bacterial Communities in Multiple Tissues Across the Body Surface of Three Coastal Shark Species
Bacterial Communities in Multiple Tissues Across the Body Surface of Three Coastal Shark Species Black C, Merly L, Hammerschlag N. ABSTRACT: Bacteria are known to have explicit roles within the microbiomes of host tissues, therefore examining these communities may prove useful in assessing host health and responses to environmental change. The present study contributes to

Forecasting intraspecific changes in distribution of a wide-ranging marine predator under climate change
Forecasting intraspecific changes in distribution of a wide-ranging marine predator under climate change Niella, Y., Butcher, P., Holmes, B. et al. ABSTRACT: Globally, marine animal distributions are shifting in response to a changing climate. These shifts are usually considered at the species level, but individuals are likely to differ in how they respond to the
