Given climate change threats to ecosystems, it is critical understand the responses of species warming. This especially important in case apex predators since they exhibit relatively high extinction risk, and changes their distribution could impact predator-prey interactions that can initiate trophic cascades. Here we used a combined analysis animal tracking, remotely sensed environmental data, habitat modeling, capture data evaluate effects variability on distributional range migratory...
Abstract Data from the Integrated Tracking of Aquatic Animals in Gulf Mexico (iTAG) network, and sister networks, were used to evaluate fish movements Florida Keys—an extensive reef ecosystem just north Cuba connecting Atlantic Ocean Mexico. We analysed ~2 million detections for 23 species, ranging such as Nassau grouper ( Epinephelus striatus , Serranidae) migratory apex predators white sharks Carcharodon carcharias Lamnidae). To facilitate comparisons across we an eco‐evolutionary movement...
Abstract Interspecific interactions can play an essential role in shaping wildlife populations and communities. To date, assessments of interspecific interactions, more specifically predator–prey dynamics, aquatic systems over broad spatial temporal scales (i.e., hundreds kilometers multiple years) are rare due to constraints on our abilities measure effectively at those scales. We applied new methods identify space‐use overlap potential predation risk Atlantic tarpon ( Megalops atlanticus )...
Understanding and ultimately predicting how marine organisms will respond to urbanization is central for effective wildlife conservation management in the Anthropocene. Sharks are upper trophic level predators virtually all environments, but if their behaviors influenced by coastal remains understudied. Here, we examined space use residency patterns of 14 great hammerheads Sphyrna mokarran , 13 bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas 25 nurse Ginglymostoma cirratum proximity metropolis Miami,...
Leatherback sea turtles ( Dermochelys coriacea ) migrate along the east coast of United States, traversing South and Mid-Atlantic Bights (SAB MAB) while traveling to from well-known northern foraging areas off Southern New England (SNE) Nova Scotia. However, there is limited information on leatherback movement behavior in these regions. To identify patterns, we fit hidden Markov models (HMMs) satellite transmitter data 52 leatherbacks tagged between 2017 2022 coasts Massachusetts North...
