The effects of white shark presence on the behaviour of Cape fur seals at Geyser Rock, Gansbaai, South Africa by Wcisel, Michelle

“…What is lacking from these studies, however, is how subsurface habitat around the islands, specifically refugia, may influence the behaviour of seals and their interactions with white sharks. …”

Movement ecology of the bronze whaler shark (carcharhinus brachyurus) in southern Africa by Rogers, Toby

“…Thus, the increase in occurrence of C. brachyurus at sites historically dominated by C. carcharias is unlikely to reflect recent immigration but rather a behavioural release from the top-down effects of a larger predator following the rapid decline in the latter's presence in False Bay. …”

Biology, movement behaviour and spatial dynamics of an exploited population of smooth hound shark mustelus mustelus around a coastal marine protected area in South Africa by da Silva, Charlene

“…Aspects of the life-history, movement in relation to a Marine Protected Area (MPA) boundary, and short and long-term spatial behaviour in relation to environmental preferences of Mustelus mustelus were studied in the Saldanha Bay region on the west coast of South Africa. …”

Spatialised ecosystem modelling to evaluate the influences of marine protected areas and provisioning ecotourism on the foraging and distributional response of top predators from M... by Grusd, Samantha Paige

“…This consequently provides ideal conditions for commercial fishing, spatial management, and shark cage diving ecotourism that involves provisioning (attracting sharks to tourists); all of which have unknown implications regarding the behavioural and foraging response of top predators in the system. …”

Instrumental conditioning and learning in Poroderma Pantherinum by Meyer, Imke

“…The results possibly have important implications for the understanding of learning and conditioning in Leopard catsharks and the likely anthropogenic threats caused through learned behaviour in benthic sharks.…”
