Journal ArticleDOI
NeEstimator v2: re-implementation of software for the estimation of contemporary effective population size (Ne ) from genetic data.
TL;DR: NeEstimator v2 includes three single‐sample estimators (updated versions of the linkage disequilibrium and heterozygote‐excess methods, and a new method based on molecular coancestry), as well as the two‐sample (moment‐based temporal) method.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the application of molecular genetics for fisheries management and conservation of sharks and rays
Christine L. Dudgeon,D. C. Blower,D. C. Blower,Damien Broderick,Damien Broderick,Jenny L. Giles,Jenny L. Giles,Bonnie J. Holmes,Bonnie J. Holmes,Tom Kashiwagi,Tom Kashiwagi,Nils C. Krück,Nils C. Krück,Jess A. T. Morgan,Jess A. T. Morgan,Bree J. Tillett,Bree J. Tillett,Jennifer R. Ovenden,Jennifer R. Ovenden +18 more
TL;DR: Increased application of the most recent and emerging technologies will enable accelerated genetic data production and the development of new markers at reduced costs, paving the way for a paradigm shift from gene to genome-scale research, and more focus on adaptive rather than just neutral variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for reproductive philopatry in the bull shark Carcharhinus leucas
Bree J. Tillett,Mark G. Meekan,Iain C. Field,Iain C. Field,Dean Thorburn,Jennifer R. Ovenden +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that C. leucas in northern Australia has a long-term effective population size of 11 000-13 000 females and has undergone population bottlenecks and expansions that coincide with the timing of the last ice-ages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of species identification by fisheries observers in a north Australian shark fishery
Bree J. Tillett,Bree J. Tillett,Iain C. Field,Iain C. Field,Iain C. Field,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Grant Johnson,Rik C. Buckworth,Mark G. Meekan,Jennifer R. Ovenden +10 more
TL;DR: The results provide the first benchmark of identification accuracy of observers for carcharhinid sharks in northern Australia and show that estimates of error in species identifications need to be incorporated into management strategies to ensure successful recovery of the many recently over-fished shark populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoding fingerprints: elemental composition of vertebrae correlates to age-related habitat use in two morphologically similar sharks
Bree J. Tillett,Mark G. Meekan,David L. Parry,David L. Parry,Niels C. Munksgaard,Iain C. Field,Dean C. Thorburn,Corey J. A. Bradshaw +7 more
TL;DR: Changes in vertebral microchemistry correlate with known habitat use patterns of the bull and pig-eye sharks, showing the potential of vertebralmicrochemistry to discern movement patterns in sharks.
