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...

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...
