Reconstruction of feeding behaviour and diet in Devonian ctenacanth chondrichthyans using dental microwear texture and finite element analyses [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceDevonian ctenacanth chondrichthyans reached body sizes similar to modern great white sharks and therefore might have been apex predators of the Devonian seas.

An Annotated Checklist and the Conservation Status of Chondrichthyans in the Adriatic
Fishes, 2022 Although there is a high number of publications listing fish species in the Adriatic, only a few have focused on chondrichthyans, while their conservation status has been investigated even less.

Assessment of the conservation status of Chondrichthyans: underestimation of the pollution threat
The European Zoological Journal, 2021 Cartilaginous fish include sharks, rays, skates, sawfish, and chimaeras. Their habitat ranges from shallow coastal waters to deep ocean floors, estuarine areas as well as rivers and inland waters.

Characterization of the tyrosine-hydroxylase immunoreactive components of the basal subpallium in sharks—toward an identification of a basal subpallial complex [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyComparative studies on the forebrain across different model organisms are necessary to investigate the origin and degree of evolutionary conservation of this brain region and its derivatives. The catshark Scyliorhinus canicula has become a reliable model

The holocephalan ratfish endoskeleton shares trabecular and areolar mineralization patterns, but not tesserae, with elasmobranchs little skate and catshark [PDF]
eLifeSpecific character traits of mineralized endoskeletal tissues need to be clearly defined and comprehensively examined among extant chondrichthyans (elasmobranchs, such as sharks and skates, and holocephalans, such as chimaeras) to understand their ...

A New Research Tool for Use in Sharks and Rays: Relevance of Reproductive Hormone Levels in the Skin of Small-Spotted Catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) [PDF]
AnimalsThe present study marks a significant step forward in validating the use of skin biopsies for measuring reproductive steroid hormones in sharks. Given the conservation concerns surrounding many chondrichthyan species and the growing emphasis on adhering ...

The adaptability of facultative parthenogenesis and ‘multiple embryos per eggcase’ as alternative reproductive strategies in Chondrichthyes [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceChondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaera) are a fascinating case study through which to examine reproductive biology. While most vertebrate lineages have converged upon either placental viviparity or oviparity, chondrichthyans exhibit unparalleled ...

EcosphereChondrichthyans (sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras) make up one of the oldest and most ecologically diverse vertebrate groups, yet they face severe threats from fishing, necessitating improved management strategies. To effectively manage these species,

Late Viséan pelagic chondrichthyans from northern Europe [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2015 The relatively rich assemblages of shark teeth from pelagic limestone (Mississippian, late Viséan, late Asbian–middle Brigantian) of three northern European regions: the Rhenish Mountains (Westenfeld Quarry, Germany), the Holy Cross Mountains (Todowa ...
