Complete mitochondrial genome of the gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 We report the first mitochondrial genome sequences for the gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos. Two specimens from the British Indian Ocean Territory were sequenced independently using two different next generation sequencing methods, namely ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of blacktip shark Carcharhinus limbatus (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 In this study, we aimed to determine the complete mitochondrial genome of blacktip shark Carcharhinus limbatus. The mitochondrial genome was 16,705 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region ...

Combining palaeontological and neontological data shows a delayed diversification burst of carcharhiniform sharks likely mediated by environmental change [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Estimating deep-time species-level diversification processes remains challenging. Both the fossil record and molecular phylogenies allow the estimation of speciation and extinction rates, but each type of data may still provide an incomplete picture of ...
