Antibiotic susceptibilities of bacteria isolated within the oral flora of Florida blacktip sharks: guidance for empiric antibiotic therapy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Sharks possess a variety of pathogenic bacteria in their oral cavity that may potentially be transferred into humans during a bite. The aim of the presented study focused on the identification of the bacteria present in the mouths of live blacktip sharks,

Smells Like Home: The Role of Olfactory Cues in the Homing Behavior of Blacktip Sharks,Carcharhinus limbatus [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2015 Animal navigation in the marine environment is believed to be guided by different sensory cues over different spatial scales. Geomagnetic cues are thought to guide long-range navigation, while visual or olfactory cues allow animals to pinpoint precise locations, but the complete behavioral sequence is not yet understood.

Scale morphology and flexibility in the shortfin mako Isurus oxyrinchus and the blacktip shark Carcharhinus limbatus [PDF]
Journal of Morphology, 2012 AbstractCover illustration. The shortfin mako Isurus oxyrinchus is perhaps the fastest swimming shark. The modified scales on the lateral flank of the shark are highly flexible and are believed to erect during rapid swimming. Erection of the flank scales and resulting drag reduction is hypothesized to be passively driven by localized flow patterns over

Collagen Biomaterials: From Traditional Animal Sources to Marine and Recombinant Alternatives
International Journal of Biomaterials, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in animals and a key biomaterial due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and versatile functional properties. Traditionally, collagen has been obtained from land animal tissues such as bovine, porcine, and donkey skin, tendon, and bone.

PLoS ONE, 2023 Offshore sand shoals are a coveted sand source for coastal restoration projects and as sites for wind energy development. Shoals often support unique fish assemblages but their habitat value to sharks is largely unknown due to the high mobility of most ...

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

Ecology 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 ...

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2023 The first case of bicephalia in a male embryo of the blacktip shark Carcharhinus limbatus in the southern Gulf of Mexico is described. The embryo was found and removed from a pregnant female caught off the coast of Tabasco, Mexico. The specimen had two heads, two dorsal fins, two spine columns conjoined in the pelvic region, two esophagus, and a single
