Volitional Swimming Kinematics of Blacktip Sharks, Carcharhinus limbatus, in the Wild

open access: yesDrones, 2020
Recent work showed that two species of hammerhead sharks operated as a double oscillating system, where frequency and amplitude differed in the anterior and posterior parts of the body. We hypothesized that a double oscillating system would be present in

Dental Morphology, Palaeoecology and Palaeobiogeographic Significance of a New Species of Requiem Shark (Genus Carcharhinus) from the Lower Miocene of Peru (East Pisco Basin, Chilcatay Formation)

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Nowadays, the requiem sharks comprise one of the most diverse and widespread families of selachians, i.e., Carcharhinidae. Among the carcharhinids, the genus Carcharhinus has the largest number of living species, namely, at least 35.

Morphology and paleoecology of a hybodontiform with serrated teeth, Priohybodus arambourgi, from the Late Jurassic of northeastern Brazil

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 5-32, January 2026.
Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2707-2725, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...

Insights Into the Ecomorphology of the Blue Shark (Prionace glauca) in the Adriatic Sea (Central Mediterranean Sea)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study examines how the morphology of Mediterranean blue sharks (Prionace glauca ) changes throughout their development. Using linear and geometric morphometrics, it reveals that juveniles and adults differ in fin and head shape, reflecting adaptations to different ecological and swimming demands.
