Buried in the sand: Uncovering the ecological roles and importance of rays

Kathryn I. Flowers et al.

Summary: Stingrays, as a diverse group of elasmobranchs, still have gaps in ecological research, such as the impact of ray predator-prey interactions on prey population dynamics and how ray foraging influences ecosystem dynamics that have not been extensively explored. Therefore, to better integrate rays in our understanding of marine community dynamics, there is a need to combine behavioral data with dietary information, study the effects of ray bioturbation on biogeochemical cycles and infaunal communities, elucidate conditions under which rays may trigger or transmit trophic cascades, and consider the anthropogenic influences on the ecological roles and importance of rays.

Variable migration patterns of whitespotted eagle rays Aetobatus narinari along Florida's coastlines

Breanna C. DeGroot et al.

Summary: This study used passive acoustic telemetry to uncover multi-scale spatial patterns of whitespotted eagle rays in Florida waters. Results showed distinct movement patterns between individuals on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, with temperature potentially playing a key role in influencing migration patterns. Additionally, ontogenetic shifts in habitat use were observed, particularly along the Atlantic coast in the Indian River Lagoon.

Residency and habitat use patterns by sympatric stingrays at a remote atoll in the Western Indian Ocean

Chantel Elston et al.

Summary: This study used acoustic telemetry to monitor the presence of dasyatids around St. Joseph Atoll in Seychelles, highlighting their residency and restricted movements within and around the atoll. Both adults and juveniles showed ontogenetic habitat segregation, with adults relying more on the deeper lagoon and juveniles restricted to shallow sand flats. This study provides evidence that the atoll serves as a nursery for dasyatids, and suggests that marine protected areas designation in this region can provide conservation benefits for batoid populations.

Overfishing drives over one-third of all sharks and rays toward a global extinction crisis

Nicholas K. Dulvy et al.

Summary: The IUCN Red List assessment reveals that over one-third of chondrichthyans are threatened with extinction, primarily due to overfishing. Species in tropical and subtropical coastal waters are disproportionately threatened. Urgent measures such as science-based fishing limits, effective marine protected areas, and strategies to reduce fishing mortality are needed to prevent further extinctions and ensure food security and ecosystem functions.

Movescapes and eco-evolutionary movement strategies in marine fish: Assessing a connectivity hotspot

Susan K. Lowerre-Barbieri et al.

Summary: Data from the iTAG network and sister networks were used to evaluate fish movements in the Florida Keys, revealing variations in life stages and residency among species. Four annual movement types were identified, including high site-fidelity residents, range residents, seasonal migrants, and general migrants.
