Expanded niche for white sharks
Abstract
Until the advent of electronic tagging technology, the inherent difficulty of studying swift and powerful marine animals made ecological information about sharks of the family Lamnidae difficult to obtain. Here we report the tracking of movements of white sharks by using pop-up satellite archival tags, which reveal that their migratory movements, depth and ambient thermal ranges are wider than was previously thought.

The development of satellite and other tagging technologies has greatly increased our understanding of the distribution patterns of tunas and billfishes.
“While the development of satellite and other tagging technologies has greatly increased our understanding of the distribution patterns of tunas and billfishes (Sedberry & Loefer 2001, Boustany et al. 2002, Graves et al. 2002, Block et al. 2005), there are still information gaps for particular 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.
