Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Squalus cf. mitsukurii (Chondrichthyes: Squalidae) Revealed by ddRAD Sequencing. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT Assessing genetic structure across ocean basins is essential to understand connectivity and guide conservation in data‐deficient open‐water sharks. In this study, we examined the population genomics of Squalus cf. mitsukurii by analyzing tissue samples collected from two distant regions: California, USA (Pacific Ocean) and Pernambuco, Brazil ...

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...

Inferring leader-follower dynamics in three shark species using acoustic telemetry data. [PDF]

Mov Ecol
Background Understanding collective behaviours and interactions in sharks is still in its infancy. Although recent studies have revealed some social structures in several shark species, little is known about complex interactions and social processes such

Catch Data Can Unravel Elasmobranch Aggregation Dynamics and Group Behaviours. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Elasmobranchs (i.e., sharks, skates, rays), known for their cognitive abilities and complex behaviours, often form aggregations that are thought to be crucial for their survival and evolutionary success.

Effects of protection on large-bodied reef fishes in the western Indian Ocean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Predatory and large‐bodied coral reef fishes have fundamental roles in the functioning and biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems, but their populations are declining, largely due to overexploitation in fisheries. These fishes include sharks, groupers, Humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and Green Humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum).

Simulated heatwave and fishing stressors alter corticosteroid and energy balance in neonate blacktip reef sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus. [PDF]

Conserv Physiol, 2021
The increasing frequency and duration of marine heatwaves attributed to climate change threatens coastal elasmobranchs and may exacerbate existing anthropogenic stressors.
