New study assessing what factors might be influencing trends and occurrences of shark bites

Is it really more swimmers/surfers? Population of dangerous sharks recovering?

Ever wondered what factors influence the number of shark bites?

Delphine Duval led a review of scientific evidence of factors proposed to affect shark-bite risk.

There is a broad range of shark-bite mitigation measures available. If you wonder how to assess them, we’ve developed a new framework to help compare which measures might be most suitable

Ever thought about using shark jaws for stable isotopes from teeth? This is a must read: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

While recent genetic analyses suggest the Australian white shark population is one popluation, a new trophic study using isotopic signature from vertebrae supports an ecological 2-population model

Since 2020, we've been coming to Norfolk Island to study shark movements in relation to human activities.

This year, we presented our findings and report to the community, Norfolk Council and @parksaustralia.bsky.social

Amazing to have 150 people attending the event! #NorfolkSharks

With >50% of tiger shark diet on Norfolk Island being bird, it made sense to start learning more about Norfolk's seabirds

New project targeting shearwater movement and rafting ecology just started in collaboration with @petrel-nut.bsky.social #BiopixelFoundation @flindersuniversity.bsky.social #JCU

Another year, another trip on Norfolk Island, but this time to deploy SPLASH tags to record tiger shark use of the water column across their migrations #NorfolkSharks @meyer-sci.bsky.social @parksaustralia.bsky.social
