Feeding habits of the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus Canicula (l., 1758) in the Central Mediterranean [PDF]
The catshark Scyliorhinus canicula is a common demersal elasmobranch in the Mediterranean. It has a wide geographical and bathymetric distribution and is found primarily over sandy, muddy or gravelly bottoms.

Delineation of Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) In the Western Indian Ocean was enhanced by the verification and incorporation of unpublished records. Even with this expanded dataset, ~99% of ISRA coverage fell outside of fully protected, no‐take MPAs.

The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly recognised as a critical threat to global biodiversity, yet its impacts on reproductive processes remain poorly understood in many marine taxa. Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) represent a particularly vulnerable group due to their peculiar life histories, low fecundity, and diverse reproductive modes.

The fin-to-limb transition as the re-organization of a Turing pattern
Mouse digit patterning is controlled by a Turing network of Bmp, Sox9, and Wnt. Here, Onimaru et al. show that fin patterning in the catshark, Scyliorhinus canicula, is controlled by the same network with a different spatial organization; thus, the ...

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs
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 ...

An overview of the hooking mortality of elasmobranchs caught in a swordfish pelagic longline fishery in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Hooking (or “at-haulback”) fishing mortality was analysed in elasmobranchs captured by Portuguese longliners targeting swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean.

ABSTRACT The location of shark egg nursery areas in the Mediterranean Sea is not well known. Moreover, decades of trawling have depleted flat muddy bottoms of both organic (sessile colonial organisms) and inorganic (rocks) three‐dimensional structures in the western Mediterranean Sea.

Hagfish and lamprey Hox genes reveal conservation of temporal colinearity in vertebrates [PDF]
Hox genes exert fundamental roles for proper regional specification along the main rostro-caudal axis of animal embryos. They are generally expressed in restricted spatial domains according to their position in the cluster (spatial colinearity)—a feature
