Defining distribution and habitat use of west‐central Florida’s coastal sharks through a research and education program

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Identifying critical habitat for highly mobile species such as sharks is difficult, but essential for effective management and conservation. In regions where baseline data are lacking, non‐traditional data sources have the potential to increase ...

Field guide to requiem sharks (Elasmobranchiomorphi: Carcharhinidae) of the Western North Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Identification problems are common for many sharks due to a general lack of meristic characteristics that are typically useful for separating species. Other than number of vertebrae and number and shape of teeth, identifications are frequently based on ...

Speed‐dependent locomotor patterns during steady swimming in a demersal shark

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 394-405, August 2025.
Abstract Swimming ability is critical for navigating complex benthic habitats, yet the biomechanical strategies demersal sharks employ to modulate body and fin movements across varying speeds remain largely unexplored. This study examines speed‐dependent kinematic patterns in the small‐spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), a benthic species with ...

Olfaction Contributes to Pelagic Navigation in a Coastal Shark. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
How animals navigate the constantly moving and visually uniform pelagic realm, often along straight paths between distant sites, is an enduring mystery. The mechanisms enabling pelagic navigation in cartilaginous fishes are particularly understudied.

Growth dynamics of the spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna) off the United States southeast and Gulf of Mexico coasts: a comparison of methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The age and growth dynamics of the spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinna) in the northwest Atlantic Ocean off the southeast United States and in the Gulf of Mexico were examined and four growth models were used to examine variation in the ability to fit
