Seasonal residency, activity space, and use of deep-water channels by Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus) in an Arctic fjord system

Jena E. Edwards et al.

Summary: This study uses static acoustic telemetry to monitor the movements of Greenland sharks and finds that they are active in summer open-water areas. The sharks' age and activity range vary, with some individuals returning to the same area for several years. Movements between coastal and offshore waters primarily occur via a deep-water channel.

Decadal migration phenology of a long-lived Arctic icon keeps pace with climate change

Courtney R. Shuert et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence of significant delays in the timing of narwhal autumn migrations and suggests that narwhals are adopting strategic migration tactics in response to climate change. Male narwhals lead the migration out of the summering areas, while females with dependent young depart later. The time spent in summer areas is increasing at a similar rate to climate-driven sea ice loss.

Spatio-Temporal Variability in White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) Movement Ecology During Residency and Migration Phases in the Western North Atlantic

Bryan R. Franks et al.

Summary: Understanding the three-dimensional movements of white sharks in the western North Atlantic is crucial for management and conservation efforts. Tracking 48 white sharks revealed repeatable horizontal movement patterns, with variations related to sex and size. The study shows dynamic inter- and intra-annual movements, highlighting the importance of using multiple tag types for long-term tracking.
