Journal Article
Thorburn, J., Collins, P. C., Garbett, A., Vance, H., Phillips, N., Drumm, A., Cooney, J., Waters, C., Ó’Maoiléidigh, N., Johnston, E., Dolton, H. R., Berrow, S., Hall, G., Hall, J., Delvillar, D., McGill, R., Whoriskey, F., Fangue, N. A., McInturf, A. G., Rypel, A. L., …Houghton, J. D. R. (2024). Assessing the potential of acoustic telemetry to underpin the regional management of basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus). Animal Biotelemetry, 12, Article 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-024-00370-5

Acoustic telemetry can provide valuable space-use data for a range of marine species. Yet the deployment of species-specific arrays over vast areas to gather data on highly migratory vertebrates poses formidable challenges, often rendering it impract...

Preliminary insight into the reproductive traits of the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) using in-field ultrasonography and circulating hormone concentrations (2023)
Journal Article
Thorburn, J., Cole, G., Naylor, A., Garbett, A., Wilson, K., James, M., Dodd, J., Houghton, J. D., & Collins, P. C. (2023). Preliminary insight into the reproductive traits of the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) using in-field ultrasonography and circulating hormone concentrations. Endangered Species Research, 52, 97-111. https://doi.org/10.3354/esr01264

Due to global population declines, there is a pressing need for data on the life history traits of many elasmobranch species to support the development of species-specific management plans. A lack of information on the reproductive cycle of the Criti...

An integrative modelling framework for passive acoustic telemetry (2023)
Journal Article
Lavender, E., Biber, S., Illian, J., James, M., Wright, P. J., Thorburn, J., & Smout, S. (2023). An integrative modelling framework for passive acoustic telemetry. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 14(10), 2626-2638. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.14193

Passive acoustic telemetry is widely used to study the movements of aquatic animals. However, a holistic, mechanistic modelling framework that permits the reconstruction of fine‐scale movements and emergent patterns of space use from detections at re...

Mitochondrial haplotypes reveal low diversity and restricted connectivity of the critically endangered batoid population in a Marine Protected Area (2023)
Journal Article
Schwanck, T., Vizer, L., Thorburn, J., Dodd, J., Wright, P., Donnan, D., Noble, L., & Jones, C. (2024). Mitochondrial haplotypes reveal low diversity and restricted connectivity of the critically endangered batoid population in a Marine Protected Area. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 731, 279-291. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps14242

Stability and long-term persistence of a species rely heavily on its genetic diversity, which is closely allied to its capacity for adaptation. In threatened species, population connectivity can play a major role in maintaining that diversity, and ge...

Measuring and understanding sustainability-enhancing processes in tropical coastal and marine social–ecological systems (2023)
Book Chapter
Glaser, M., Ferse, S., Christie, P., Diele, K., Dsikowitzky, L., Nordhaus, I., Schlüter, A., Schwerdtner Mañez, K., & Wild, C. (2023). Measuring and understanding sustainability-enhancing processes in tropical coastal and marine social–ecological systems. In B. Glaeser, & M. Glaser (Eds.), Coastal Management Revisited: Navigating towards Sustainable Human-Nature Relations (83-93). Cambridge Scholars Publishing

Tropical coastal and marine social–ecological systems (CM-SES) are diverse, complex and dynamic. They face special challenges as hotspots of biodiversity and centres of population growth. Sustainability science focuses on the state of such systems an...
