Are white sharks apex predators? Not according to this (and previous) studies: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7… Picky eating of white shark liver by killer whale facilitates scavenging by other species

The structure of Australian white shark population is more complex than previously thought! Genomic assessment suggests lack of structure between eastern and southern regions (ie one population) doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13…

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 #NicholasCarlile James Cook Uni Biopixel UniSC: University of the Sunshine Coast

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 Australian Marine Parks Amazing to have 150 people attending the event! #NorfolkSharks

Perfect timing with our 2025 Norfolk Island trip: new paper on tiger shark movement just out #NorfolkSharks doi.org/10.1016/j.mare… 35 tiger sharks (avg size 4 m) satellite tracked over 5 years Led to the designation of Important Shark and Ray Areas - ISRAs's Norfolk Ridge sharkrayareas.org/portfolio-item…
