Lavender, E., Aleynik, D., Dodd, J., Illian, J., James, M., Wright, P. J., …Thorburn, J. (2022). Movement patterns of a Critically Endangered elasmobranch (Dipturus intermedius) in a Marine Protected Area. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Eco

1. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are widely used in marine management, but for mobile species understanding the spatio-temporal scale of management measures that is required to deliver conservation benefits depends on a detailed knowledge of species'...

Environmental cycles and individual variation in the vertical movements of a benthic elasmobranch (2021)
Journal Article
Lavender, E., Alenynik, D., Dodd, J., Illian, J., James, M., Wright, P. J., …Thorburn, J. A. (2021). Environmental cycles and individual variation in the vertical movements of a benthic elasmobranch. Marine Biology, 168, Article 164. https://doi.org/10.

Trends in depth and vertical activity reflect the behaviour, habitat use and habitat preferences of marine organisms. However, among elasmobranchs, research has focused heavily on pelagic sharks, while the vertical movements of benthic elasmobranchs,...

Seasonal and Ontogenetic Variation in Depth Use by a Critically Endangered Benthic Elasmobranch and Its Implications for Spatial Management (2021)
Journal Article
Thorburn, J. A., Wright, P., Lavender, E., Dodd, J., Neat, F., Martin, J., …James, M. A. (2021). Seasonal and Ontogenetic Variation in Depth Use by a Critically Endangered Benthic Elasmobranch and Its Implications for Spatial Management. Frontiers in Ma

Seasonal and ontogenetic variation in depth use by benthic species are often concomitant with changes in their spatial distribution. This has implications for the efficacy of spatial conservation measures such as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The cr...

First confirmed complete incubation of a flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) egg in captivity (2021)
Journal Article
Benjamins, S., Cole, G., Naylor, A., Thorburn, J. A., & Dodd, J. (2021). First confirmed complete incubation of a flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) egg in captivity. Journal of Fish Biology, 99(3), 1150-1154. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.14816

An egg of the Critically Endangered flapper skate Dipturus intermedius was successfully incubated to hatching in captivity, in what is believed to be a first for the species. Water conditions (temperature, salinity, flow rate) were recorded, with mea... Read More about First confirmed complete incubation of a flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) egg in captivity.

Evidence of egg laying grounds for critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) off Orkney, UK (2021)
Journal Article
Phillips, N. D., Garbett, A., Wise, D., Loca, S. L., Daly, O., Eagling, L. E., …Collins, P. C. (2021). Evidence of egg laying grounds for critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) off Orkney, UK. Journal of Fish Biology, 99(4), 1492-149

Essential fish habitats (EFHs) are critical for fish life-history events, including spawning, breeding, feeding or growth. Here we provide evidence of EFH for the Critically Endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) in the waters around the Ork...
