Evidence of maternal offloading of organic contaminants in white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Organic contaminants were measured in young of the year (YOY) white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) incidentally caught in southern California between 2005 and 2012 (n = 20) and were found to be unexpectedly high considering the young age and dietary ...

The Deep Past of the White Shark, Carcharodon carcharias, in the Mediterranean Sea: A Synthesis of Its Palaeobiology and Palaeoecology [PDF]
Life, 2023 The white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is the main top predator of the present-day Mediterranean Sea. The deep past of C. carcharias in the Mediterranean is witnessed by a rather conspicuous, mostly Pliocene fossil record.

Preliminary Data about Habitat Use of Subadult and Adult White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in Eastern Australian Waters [PDF]
Biology, 2022 In eastern Australia, white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) are targeted in shark control programs, yet the movement of subadults and adults of the eastern Australasian population is poorly understood.

Form, Function and Feeding: Changes in Tooth Size and Shape Associated With Ontogenetic Changes in Prey Consumption by Australian White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWhite sharks exhibit distinct ontogenetic shifts in tooth morphology that underpin changes in diet and ecological function. Using Elliptic Fourier Analysis and traditional morphometrics, we reveal significant variation in dentition across jaw position and developmental stage, with a major transition occurring at 210 cm PCL and at the sixth tooth within

Eyes on the size: accuracy of visual length estimates of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Visual estimates have been used extensively to determine the length of large organisms that are logistically challenging to measure. However, there has been little effort to quantify the accuracy or validity of this technique despite inaccurate size ...
