This study presents a comprehensive eDNA metabarcoding protocol optimized for monitoring fish biodiversity in coral reefs and other remote marine environments. By combining an autonomous underwater filtration system, Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and a 12S reference database specifically developed for French Polynesia, the method enables efficient and ...

The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly recognised as a critical threat to global biodiversity, yet its impacts on reproductive processes remain poorly understood in many marine taxa. Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) represent a particularly vulnerable group due to their peculiar life histories, low fecundity, and diverse reproductive modes.

Hopping Hotspots Shaped the Global Biogeography and Diversification of Orectolobiform Sharks
ABSTRACT Aim In marine biogeography, many clades exhibit their greatest species richness in the Central Indo‐Pacific region, which includes the Indo‐Australian Archipelago. However, there is no consensus that this region was the ancestral cradle of clade's species richness.

Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates
ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

Rapid DNA/eDNA‐Based ID Tools for Improved Chondrichthyan Monitoring and Management
ABSTRACT Rapid DNA/eDNA‐based ID tools, which detect specific genetic patterns without requiring sequencing, are essential for biodiversity and wildlife trade monitoring, particularly for species of conservation concern. However, the practical application of these methods remains limited by the availability of standardised protocols, accessibility of ...

A new species of Abdounia (Elasmobranchii, Carcharhinidae) from the base of the Boom Clay Formation (Oligocene) in northwest Belgium [PDF]
On the basis of isolated teeth, collected from the base of the Boom Clay Formation (Rupelian, Oligocene) at the SVK clay pit (Sint-Niklaas, NW Belgium), a new species of requiem shark, Abdounia belselensis sp. nov., is described.

Eutetrarhynchid trypanorhynchs (Cestoda) from elasmobranchs off Argentina, including the description of Dollfusiella taminii sp. n. and Parachristianella damiani sp. n., and amended description of Dollfusiella vooremi (São Clemente et Gomes, 1989) [PDF]
During a parasitological survey of teleosts and elasmobranchs in the Argentine Sea, 3 species of eutetrarhynchids were collected from the batoids Myliobatis goodei Garman and Psammobatis bergi Marini, and the shark Mustelus schmitti Springer.
