Stable‐isotope analysis (SIA) can act as a powerful ecological tracer with which to examine
diet, trophic position and movement, as well as more complex questions pertaining to …

Theoretical models of coastal shark populations have remained largely unchanged since
the 1960s despite limitations in applicability to many species. Smaller bodied coastal …

Although the whale shark Rhincodon typus is the largest extant fish, it was not described
until 1828 and by 1986 there were only 320 records of this species. Since then, growth in …

Sex‐biased dispersal is expected to homogenize nuclear genetic variation relative to
variation in genetic material inherited through the philopatric sex. When site fidelity occurs …

This multi-decade study on an isolated and unfished population of manta rays (Manta alfredi
and M. birostris) in the Maldives used individual-based photo-ID records and behavioural …

Quantifying the diet of sympatric co-occurring predatory species is a challenging task, made
more so when investigations attempt to focus on specific age groups. This is the task that …

Contamination by metals is among the most pervasive anthropogenic threats to the
environment. Despite the ecological importance of marine apex predators, the potential …

This study explores the application of small, commercially available drones to determine
morphometric the measurements and record key demographic parameters of reef manta …

The list of threatened species (Red List), established by the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN), aims to provide global assessments on the extinction risk of …

Stable isotopes of neonatal vertebrates reflect those of their mother's diet and foraging
location. Evaluating feeding strategies and habitat use of neonates is consequently …
