programme, bringing the total number of
published papers to 149 since 2018. Of
the 28 papers published in 2022, six were
published in journals with an “excellent”

vertical dimension

movement ecology

D. (2022) ‘Diving into the vertical dimension of elasmobranch
movement ecology’ – Science Advances
https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abo1754
Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement
patterns of elasmobranchs (sharks, rays and chimeras)
is vital to understand their ecological roles and their
exposure to human pressures. To date, comparative
studies among species at global scales have mostly
focused on horizontal movements, however, threats
to elasmobranchs vary with depth, as do the
techniques used to monitor them. This study compiles
the first global synthesis of vertical habitat use by
elasmobranchs from data obtained by deployment of
989 biotelemetry tags on 38 elasmobranch species.
