Stingrays are common in coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world. Some species, such as the thorntail stingray (Dasyatis thetidis), are found in warmer temperate oceans and others, such as the deepwater stingray (Plesiobatis daviesi), are …

The bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma) is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae. Found from the intertidal zone to a depth of 30 m (100 ft), this species is common throughout the tropical Indian and western Pacific Oceans in nearshore, coral reef-associated habitats.

Management and conservation of stingrays is currently hindered by a lack of knowledge on essential aspects of their ecology. Therefore, this thesis aimed to refine the roles juvenile stingrays play in coral reef habitats and determine the importance of coral reef habitat to stingray populations in a nursery area in the Great Barrier Reef.

2020年12月18日 · The southern stingray’s range is limited to tropical and subtropical waters in the Western Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, with a northern range of New Jersey and a southern range of southern Brazil. They are often found in shallower coastal waters but can live as deep as nearly 200 feet if food is available.

2020年2月27日 · Stingrays are thought to play important ecological roles in coral reef ecosystems. However, little is known about juvenile stingray movement patterns and habitat use in coral reefs.

The southern stingray can be found on sandy seafloors near seagrasses and coral reefs throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the southern Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.

2022年1月12日 · Stingray habitat use was not only influenced by temperature, but also by the tides. Detections on the flats occurred throughout the tidal cycle (although were somewhat more frequent at high tides), while detections in the lagoon occurred at …

2024年12月1日 · At night, stingrays often moved toward slightly deeper coral hardbottom and patch reef habitats, a pattern of movement also observed by Tilley (2011) for juvenile southern stingrays in Belize. These shifts in space usage by southern stingrays may be related to both foraging and avoidance of predation ( Tilley, 2011 ; Tilley and Strindberg, 2012 ).

this thesis aimed to refine the roles juvenile stingrays play in coral reef habitats and determine the importance of coral reef habitat to stingray populations in a nursery area in the Great Barrier Reef. To do so, this thesis addressed five specific aims: (1) review the current

2016年3月11日 · A better understanding of the piggybacking behaviour and associated advantages it provides to the pink whiprays (and possibly also the host species) may help to identify key evolutionary drivers of stingray behaviour and ecology.
