The breathing rate of urban bandiny following capture was lower than those of exurban areas. All other parameters proved suboptimal for detecting differential behavioural responses to handling between urban and exurban populations, despite having been successfully used in other international studies. </sec> <sec> Conclusions We suggest that urban honeyeaters exhibit lower mean breathing rates due to chronic overstimulation in response to urban lifestyles and are not able to further elevate this behaviour in response to stressful stimuli. The failure of other approaches explored highlights the need to apply ecosystem-appropriate methods for investigating urbanisation within an Australian context. </sec> <sec> Implications Our results suggest that behavioural approaches to quantifying avian stress developed internationally require additional consideration when applied to the ecosystems of Australia, whose birds are evolved to accommodate a different regime of seasonality that has shaped them behaviourally and morphologically. </sec>","PeriodicalId":38939,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Conservation Biology","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135696558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ocean degradation threatens this industry and management has not kept pace to ensure long-term sustainability. In response, some individuals within the industry are taking it upon themselves to monitor the ocean and provide the data needed to assist management decisions. Fiji is one such place. </sec> <sec> Aims Between 2012 and 2016, 39 Fijian dive operators, in collaboration with eOceans, conducted the Great Fiji Shark Count to document sharks on their dives. </sec> <sec> Methods Using 146&#x2009;304 shark observations from 30668 dives, we document spatial and temporal patterns of 11 shark species at 592 sites. </sec> <sec> Key results Sharks were observed on 13&#x2009;846 dives (45% of recorded dives) at 441 (74%) sites. Generally, our results matched those from other more limited surveys, including from baited remote underwater video systems. We found high variability in shark presence, species richness, and relative abundance through space and time. One trend was surprising: the most common species, Whitetip Reef Shark, decreased over the study period at eastern sites and increased at western sites; the cause is currently unknown. </sec> <sec> Conclusions Our results can guide management and conservation needs, future scientific questions, and provide a baseline for future assessments. </sec> <sec> Implications This study demonstrates the value of longitudinal observation data that includes absences for describing marine fauna, and confirms the capacity of stakeholders to document the ocean. It also points the direction for broadscale participatory science methodologies to track the ocean. </sec>","PeriodicalId":38939,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Conservation Biology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135697335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
