Sharks navigate using mental maps
Shark News on 03 1st, 2011 |Some shark species make “mental maps” of their home ranges, allowing them to pin-point destinations up to 50km (30 miles) away, research suggests. US-based scientists analyzed data from tiger sharks tagged with acoustic transmitters, and found that they took directed paths from place to place. Other species such as blacktip reef sharks did not show this behavior. Writing in the Journal of Animal Ecology,...

Some shark species make “mental maps” of their home ranges, allowing them to pin-point destinations up to 50km (30 miles) away, research suggests. US-based scientists analyzed data from tiger sharks tagged with acoustic transmitters, and found that they took directed paths from place to place. Other species such as blacktip reef sharks did not show this behavior. Writing in the Journal of Animal Ecology, researchers suggest this shows a capacity to store maps of key sites. In addition, it is further evidence that the great fish can navigate, possibly using the Earth’s magnetic...
Sharks feeling the bite
Shark News on February 1, 2011 |
Last year six people were killed by sharks worldwide. Multiply that number by more than 12 million and you get close to the number of sharks killed for human consumption each year. The annual mass slaughter of sharks, estimated to be around 73 million each year, has left one third of all shark species on the brink of extinction. “It’s a grave situation that sharks are now faced with,” say Matt Rand, director of the Pew Environment Group’s Global Shark Conservation Campaign. “If serious action is not taken soon, the fate of shark species playing a viable role in the...
