Apristurus iterum, a new shark discovered based on egg case morphology and sequence data obtained from a formalin-fixed specimen. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Apristurus iterum, a new species of deepwater catshark, is described from northeastern Australia. The new species is diagnosed through examination of its unique egg case morphology based on a single whole gravid female specimen and 10 egg cases deposited in different Australian ichthyological collections.

Reallocation of the magnificent catshark Proscyllium magnificum Last & Vongpanich, 2004 to the genus Ctenacis Compagno, 1973 (Carcharhiniformes: Proscylliidae). [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The magnificent catshark Proscyllium magnificum was described in 2004 based off five specimens collected in the Andaman Sea off Myanmar. It was originally allocated to the genus Proscyllium, but recent molecular analyses suggested it was more closely related to the harlequin catshark Ctenacis fehlmanni from the western Indian Ocean. This study

Trypanorhynch Assemblages Indicate Ecological and Phylogenetical Attributes of Their Elasmobranch Final Hosts [PDF]
, 2017 This study explores non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) as a tool for investigating parasites as indicators of the elasmobranch biology. An attractive feature of nMDS is its ability to allow assemblage-level parasite data to be simultaneously ...
