The Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (164–100 Ma) represents one of the main transitional periods in life history. Recent studies unveiled a complex scenario in which abiotic and biotic factors and drivers on regional and global scales due to the ...

A new chondrichthyan fauna from the Late Jurassic of the Swiss Jura (Kimmeridgian) dominated by hybodonts, chimaeroids and guitarfishes [PDF]
The fossil record of chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeroids) principally consists of isolated teeth, spines and dermal denticles, their cartilaginous skeleton being rarely preserved.

Comparative genomics of chondrichthyan Hoxa clusters [PDF]
Les poissons chondrichtyens ou cartilagineux (chimères, requins, raies et raies) occupent une position phylogénétique importante en tant que groupe sœur de tous les autres vertébrés à mâchoires et en tant que lignée précoce pour diverger de la lignée des vertébrés à la suite de deux événements de duplication du génome entier dans l'évolution des ...

El sistema reproductor femenino de Zearaja chilensis (Guichenot, 1848) (Chondrichthyes, Rajidae): Gametogénesis y validación microscópica de los criterios de madurez [PDF]
Los condrictios son extremadamente susceptibles a la explotación pesquera debido, entre otras cosas, a sus adaptaciones reproductivas. Los conocimientos básicos de sus parámetros reproductivos son esenciales, ya sea desde el punto de vista ecológico como

Fishery impacts pose threats not only to target species, but also to bycatch species. Nevertheless, choosing priorities for conservation or research in fisheries is often driven by economic value and most retained bycatch species such as sharks and rays ...

Características histológicas del útero de Sympterygia acuta (Garman, 1877) y Sympterygia bonapartii (Müller & Henle, 1841) (Chondrichthyes; Rajidae) [PDF]
Los condrictios constituyen un clado sumamente conservado y vulnerable a la explotación, que ha cobrado una importancia creciente en los últimos años. Sin embargo, existe poca información sobre los aspectos morfológicos relacionados con la reproducción ...

Smart sharks: a review of chondrichthyan cognition
Abstract450 million years of evolution have given chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and allies) ample time to adapt perfectly to their respective everyday life challenges and cognitive abilities have played an important part in that process. The diversity of niches that sharks and rays occupy corresponds to matching diversity in brains and behaviour, but ...

The Dermal Skeleton of Stem-Actinopterygian Moythomasia durgaringa and Its Implications for the Nature of the Ancestral Osteichthyan. [PDF]
The figure presents a model of Moythomasia and a schematic histological model illustrating the internal structure and features of the cranial bones. These include bone (brown), osteocyte spaces (red), spheritic bone (light brown), osteon spaces (orange), dentine and canaliculi (green), pulp canal (yellow), ganoine (gray), arrested growth lines (dashed ...
