“Even though long-range movements have been occasionally documented elsewhere (White et al 2017), excursions of reef sharks outside the park might be limited by TRNP geographic isolation (Espinoza et al 2015, Heupel et al 2009, Whitney et al 2012).”

“Marine reserves ranging in size from 100 to 1,000 km2 can harbor higher densities of residential, reef-associated carcharhinids than do comparable, proximate fished sites (Robbins et al. 2006, Heupel et al. 2009, Bond et al. 2012).”

“Recent research has indicated that reef shark populations have been dramatically altered by fishing pressure and other human impacts (e.g. Friedlander & DeMartini 2002, Robbins et al. 2006, Sandin et al. 2008, Heupel et al. 2009, Ward-Paige et al. 2010).”

“For example, over-exploitation has led to declines in abundances of sharks on some tropical reefs (e.g. Friedlander & DeMartini 2002, Robbins et al. 2006, Sandin et al. 2008, Heupel et al. 2009).”

“There is evidence that populations of some reef sharks have declined with significantly fewer sharks found in areas subjected to fishing pressure than areas where fishing pressure is reduced (Robbins et al., 2006; Heupel et al., 2009), but such data are not available for other species.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
