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 ...

Quantification of Massive Seasonal Aggregations of Blacktip Sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) in Southeast Florida. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Southeast Florida witnesses an enormous seasonal influx of upper trophic level marine predators each year as massive aggregations of migrating blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) overwinter in nearshore waters. The narrow shelf and close proximity of

Inclusion of South American samples reveals new population structuring of the blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) in the western Atlantic [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 Carcharhinus limbatus has a cosmopolitan distribution and marked genetic structuring, mainly because of its philopatric behavior. However, analysis of this structuring has not previously included South American populations.

Grow fast, die young: Does compensatory growth reduce survival of juvenile blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) in the western Gulf of Mexico? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Effective conservation and management necessitate an understanding of the ecological mechanisms that shape species life histories in order to predict how variability in natural and anthropogenic impacts will alter growth rates, recruitment, and survival.

A Mozambican marine protected area provides important habitat for vulnerable pelagic sharks [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Pelagic sharks play key roles in marine ecosystems, but are increasingly threatened by human extraction, habitat degradation and mismanagement. We investigated the use of protected and unprotected coastal habitats by bull (Carcharhinus leucas) and ...

The Phenomenon of Piebaldism in Sharks: A Review of Global Sightings and Patterns. [PDF]
Ecol EvolChromatic disorders like piebaldism—a rare form of leucism causing partial pigment loss—have been documented in 25 wild shark cases across 17 species and 11 families, with varying anatomical distribution. This study compiles published and unpublished records to better understand the taxonomic and geographical spread of piebaldism and its potential ...

Potential metabolic records in isotope signals of chondrichthyan hard tissues. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Recent advances have demonstrated that the field metabolic rates (FMRs) of teleost fishes can be quantified from stable isotope compositions of carbonate‐biomineralized otoliths. Bones and teeth, in addition to bioapatite, contain carbonate and should retain a similar isotopic expression of metabolic rate.
