The Ecological Role of Sharks on Coral Reefs
George Roff,Christopher Doropoulos,Alice Rogers,Yves-Marie Bozec,Nils C. Krueck,Eleanor Aurellado,Mark A. Priest,Chico L. Birrell,Peter J. Mumby +8 more
TL;DR: The ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs are explored and it is found that most reef-associated shark species do not act as apex predators but instead function as mesopredators along with a diverse group of reef fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating research using animal‐borne telemetry with the needs of conservation management
Jennifer McGowan,Maria Beger,Rebecca L. Lewison,Robert Harcourt,Hamish A. Campbell,Mark A. Priest,Ross G. Dwyer,Hsien-Yung Lin,Pia E. Lentini,Christine L. Dudgeon,Clive R. McMahon,Matthew E. Watts,Hugh P. Possingham +12 more
TL;DR: A framework is defined that distinguishes how research using animal telemetry devices can influence conservation and the use of value of information analysis is suggested to quantitatively assess the return-on-investment of animaltelemetry-derived data for conservation decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larval fish dispersal in a coral-reef seascape
Glenn R. Almany,Serge Planes,Simon R. Thorrold,Michael L. Berumen,Michael Bode,Pablo Saenz-Agudelo,Pablo Saenz-Agudelo,Pablo Saenz-Agudelo,Mary C. Bonin,Ashley J. Frisch,Ashley J. Frisch,Hugo B. Harrison,Vanessa Messmer,Gerrit B. Nanninga,Gerrit B. Nanninga,Mark A. Priest,Mark A. Priest,Maya Srinivasan,Tane H. Sinclair-Taylor,David H. Williamson,Geoffrey P. Jones +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Laplacian statistical distribution (the dispersal kernel) predicted a mean dispersal distance of 13-19 km for clownfish, with 90% of settlement occurring within 31-43 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decline of coastal apex shark populations over the past half century.
TL;DR: A unique fisheries-independent dataset from a shark control programme spanning 1760 km of the Australian coastline over the past 55 years is reconstructed, indicating that shark populations are highly vulnerable to exploitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
When biogeographical provinces collide: Hybridization of reef fishes at the crossroads of marine biogeographical provinces in the Arabian Sea
Joseph D. DiBattista,Joseph D. DiBattista,Luiz A. Rocha,Jean-Paul A. Hobbs,Song He,Mark A. Priest,Mark A. Priest,Tane H. Sinclair-Taylor,Brian W. Bowen,Michael L. Berumen +9 more
TL;DR: The rate of hybrid discovery at Socotra is much greater than that recorded elsewhere in the marine environment and involved both allopatric and sympatric species.
