Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays
The rapid expansion of human activities threatens ocean-wide biodiversity. Numerous marine animal populations have declined, yet it remains unclear whether these trends are symptomatic of a chronic… Expand
Shark nursery areas: concepts, definition, characterization and assumptions
- M. Heupel, J. Carlson, C. Simpfendorfer
- Biology
- 14 May 2007
The concept of elasmobranch species using nursery areas was introduced in the early 1900s and has been an accepted aspect of shark biology and behavior for several decades. Despite several… Expand
A review of detection range testing in aquatic passive acoustic telemetry studies
Passive acoustic telemetry provides an important tool to study the spatial ecology and behaviour of organisms in marine and freshwater systems, but understanding the detection range of acoustic… Expand

- Biology
- 21 July 2011
Growing concern for the world's shark and ray populations is driving the need for greater research to inform conservation management. A change in public perception, from one that we need to protect… Expand
Sharks in nearshore environments: models, importance, and consequences
- D. Knip, M. Heupel, C. Simpfendorfer
- Biology
- 8 March 2010
Theoretical models of coastal shark populations have remained largely unchanged since the 1960s despite limitations in applicability to many species. Smaller bodied coastal species are poorly… Expand
Estimation of short-term centers of activity from an array of omnidirectional hydrophones and its use in studying animal movements
- C. Simpfendorfer, M. Heupel, R. Hueter
- Biology
- 2002
A method for studying animal movements based on data from independent data-logging acoustic receivers is described. The method takes presence or absence data from multiple receivers arranged in an… Expand
