Abstract:Seasonal variability in environmental conditions is a strong determinant of animal migrations, but warming temperatures associated with climate change are anticipated to alter this phenomenon with unknown consequences.
We used a 40‐year fishery‐independent survey to assess how a changing climate has altered the migration timing, duration and first‐year survival of juvenile bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas).
From 1982 to 2021, estuaries in the western Gulf of Mexico (Texas) experienced a mean increase of 1.55… Show more
