Nature's chefs: Uniting the hidden diversity of food making and preparing species across the tree of life
BioScience, 73(6), 408–421.
author keywords: drink; food; fruit; mimic; mutualism; nectar; nuptial gift; plating
TL;DR:
This article identifies three ways that species can produce or prepare meals—as food, drinks, or lures—and further distinguish between those providing an honest meal and those deceiving consumers with food mimics.

The Cost of Diversity: An Analysis of Representation and Cost Barriers in Stock Photo Libraries for Health Education Materials, 2021
Chichester, Z. A., Jewell, M. A., LePrevost, C. E., & Lee, J. G. L. (2023, February 1). HEALTH PROMOTION PRACTICE, Vol. 2.
author keywords: stock photos; patient education; representation; material development; health promotion; equity
TL;DR:
It is found that it costs more to develop culturally relevant health education materials for minoritized populations and groups that do not represent high SES populations, and this may hinder the development of effective communication interventions.

New insights into the trophic ecology of young white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in waters off the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico
Marine Biology, 167(5).
Contributors: E. Tamburin, F. Elorriaga-Verplancken, C. Estupiñan-Montaño *, D. Madigan *, A. Sánchez-González, M. Padilla, M. Wcisel*, F. Galván-Magaña
TL;DR:
This study provides relevant information regarding young white shark feeding preferences, reinforces the importance of coastal areas as critical habitat for the development and the successful foraging of this species, and also provides indirect insights on the feeding habits of the adult female of white sharks.

Contributors: C. Huveneers *, K. Apps*, E. Becerril-García *, B. Bruce *, P. Butcher *, A. Carlisle *, T. Chapple *, H. Christiansen *
TL;DR:
The questions listed and developed here provide a global road map for future research on white sharks to advance progress toward key goals that are informed by the needs of the research community and resource managers.

2015 journal article
The role of refugia in reducing predation risk for Cape fur seals by white sharks
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 69(1), 127–138.
Contributors: M. Wcisel*, M. O’Riain *, A. Vos * & W. Chivell*
TL;DR:
It is found that during periods of high white shark presence, seals at Geyser Rock reduced their presence in open-water and utilized areas that contained complex landscapes around the colony and that the predations at Seal Island reflect a comparative lack of refugia.

Contributors: O. Jewell *, M. Wcisel*, A. Towner*, W. Chivell*, L. Merwe* & M. Bester *
TL;DR:
Dyer Island Conservation Trust, Marine Dynamics Shark Tours and Dyer Island Cruises, VW South Africa and the National Lottery provide financial support for these and other marine conservation projects.

Gauging the Threat: The First Population Estimate for White Sharks in South Africa Using Photo Identification and Automated Software
PLoS ONE, 8(6).
Contributors: A. Towner*, M. Wcisel*, R. Reisinger *, D. Edwards * & O. Jewell *
TL;DR:
The assessment suggests the species has not made a marked recovery since being nationally protected in 1991 and additional international protection may prove vital for the long-term conservation of this threatened species.

African Journal of Wildlife Research, 42(2), 147–150.
Contributors: O. Jewell * & M. Wcisel*
TL;DR:
A dead, mature male leatherback turtle was sighted at Danger Point, Gansbaai on South Africa's southwest coast.

Effects of smart position only (SPOT) tag deployment on white sharks carcharodon carcharias in South Africa
PLoS ONE, 6(11).
Contributors: O. Jewell *, M. Wcisel*, E. Gennari *, A. Towner*, M. Bester *, R. Johnson*, S. Singh*
TL;DR:
The first investigation detailing the long term effects of SPOT deployment on the dorsal fin of white sharks is presented, suggesting SPOT tags can cause permanent cosmetic and structural damage to white shark dorsal fins depending on the duration of tag attachment.

A potential predation attempt by a great white shark on an indo-pacific humpback dolphin
African Journal of Wildlife Research, 40(2), 184–187.
Contributors: M. Wcisel*, W. Chivell* & M. Gottfried*
TL;DR:
This is the first documented interaction and potential predatory shark attack on any cetacean species in Gansbaai, and is evidence that large great white sharks may opportunistically hunt humpback dolphins in this region of South Africa.
