Thermally insensitive physiological performance allows neonatal sharks to use coastal habitats as nursery areas

Ian A. Bouyoucos et al.

Summary: Research has found that neonatal sharks in coral reef populations can use thermally dynamic coastal habitats as nursery areas, as their physiological performance is not strongly affected by temperature.

Escape response kinematics in two species of tropical shark: short escape latencies and high turning performance

Jose E. Trujillo et al.

Summary: This study quantitatively assessed the escape performance of neonate tropical sharks, finding that they have high maneuverability and low propulsive performance, but short reaction times. These results are of importance for understanding the vulnerability of these sharks to predation.

Future thermal regimes for epaulette sharks (Hemiscyllium ocellatum): growth and metabolic performance cease to be optimal

Carolyn R. Wheeler et al.

Summary: Climate change is impacting thermal regimes globally, affecting development rates, body condition, and metabolic rates of organisms. The embryonic stages of oviparous species are particularly vulnerable, with the study showing negative impacts on growth and metabolic performance of epaulette shark embryos reared at 31 degrees C. This suggests that 31 degrees C may be close to the pejus temperature for this species, highlighting potential challenges under predicted ocean warming scenarios.

Wound-healing capabilities of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) and implications for conservation management

Freya Womersley et al.

Summary: Marine taxa like whale sharks have a high capacity for external wound healing, but may face increased anthropogenic wounds due to commercial and recreational marine activities. This study examines the healing process of whale shark injuries, providing valuable information for potential management strategies in aggregation areas to reduce the risk of injuries resulting from vessel collisions.
