or per unit time, respectively. We then use biologging sensors (speed/acceleration/depth/video) to see if the behavior of a representative ectothermic pelagic predator, the oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus), matches
The oceanic whitetip shark,Carcharhinus longimanus, is a Critically Endangered, circumtropical, and highly migratory, pelagic shark. Yet, little information exists on its population genetic dynamics to guide conservation management practice. We present a first worldwide, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA ass...
We examined chemical tracers of diet and habitat (δ15N and δ13C, respectively) and total mercury (Hg) concentrations in muscle tissue of seven pelagic sharks: blue shark (Prionace glauca), short-fin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus), scalloped ...
