DOI: 10.1098/rsos.230012
Abstract: As regional endotherms, lamnid sharks can sustain high cruising speeds and perform frequent speed bursts. However, since endothermy comes with high energetic costs, lamnids may adopt different swimming strategies to manage their energy budget. Understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.12852
Abstract: Summary As upper level predators, sharks serve an important role in marine ecosystems, but are often at risk from fisheries. Successful management of these species will require detailed information about their movements and distributions. Using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.aat0315
Abstract: Oceanic shark populations are declining as a result of high fishing pressure and lack of international catch quotas ([ 1 ][1], [ 2 ][2]). There has been management inaction for decades partly because species data… read more here.

Spatio-temporal variation in size-structured populations using fishery data: an application to shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) in the Pacific Ocean

DOI: 10.1139/cjfas-2016-0327
Abstract: We develop a length-disaggregated spatio-temporal delta-generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) and apply the method to fishery-dependent catch rates of shortfin mako sharks in the North Pacific. The spatio-temporal model may provide an improvement over conventional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5727623
Abstract: The shortfin mako sharks ( Isurus oxyrinchus) belongs to the family Lamnidae, which is a group of high performance regional endothermic elasmobranch fishes that has metabolic rates (47.4±8 ml/kg/min) higher than ectothermic elasmobranchs, and also… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00187
Abstract: In this paper we combine analyses of satellite telemetry and molecular data to investigate spatial connectivity and genetic structure among populations of shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) in and around Australian waters, where this species is… read more here.
