Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that our new article, “Absence or avoidance? White shark response to killer whale predation risk,” is now published in Wildlife Research.

At the Neptune Islands in South Australia, we draw on 12 years of observational and acoustic movement data to show that when killer whales are present, white sharks exhibit short-term avoidance rather than long-term disappearance.

The paper can be accessed here:

If you have any questions, or experience any issues accessing the article, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,
Bella
