Spatial variability of Chondrichthyes in the northern Mediterranean

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2019
Thanks to the availability of the MEDITS survey data, a standardized picture of the occurrence and abundance of demersal Chondrichthyes in the northern Mediterranean has been obtained.

The mitogenomic phylogeny of the Elasmobranchii (Chondrichthyes)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA Part A, 2017
Here we present a mitogenomic perspective on the evolution of sharks and rays, being a first glance on the complete mitochondrial history of such an old and diversified group of vertebrates. The Elasmobranchii is a diverse subclass of Chondrichthyes, or cartilaginous fish, with about 1200 species of ocean- and freshwater-dwelling fishes spread all over

The evolution of sexual dimorphism in Chondrichthyes: drivers, uncertainties, and future directions

open access: yesEnvironmental Biology of Fishes, 2023
Sexual dimorphisms are abundant in natural systems; however, their ecological and evolutionary significance have largely been neglected with respect to Chondrichthyes.

A review of the behaviours of the Chondrichthyes: a multi-species ethogram for the chimaeras, sharks, and rays

open access: yesBehaviour, 2023
In this review of the behavioural patterns of chondrichthyan fishes, we have strived to produce a comprehensive catalogue of events and states and develop standardized terminology.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in three bathyal chondrichthyes from the North-Western Mediterranean Sea.

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
The deep-sea can act as a sink for legacy contaminants such as organochlorines (OCs), causing damages in its inhabitants for their persistence and their prolonged effects in the organisms.

The Phylogeny of Rays and Skates (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii) Based on Morphological Characters Revisited

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Elasmobranchii are relatively well-studied. However, numerous phylogenetic uncertainties about their relationships remain. Here, we revisit the phylogenetic evidence based on a detailed morphological re-evaluation of all the major extant batomorph clades

Heterodonty and ontogenetic shift dynamics in the dentition of the tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier (Chondrichthyes, Galeocerdidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, 2022
The lifelong tooth replacement in elasmobranch fishes (sharks, rays and skates) has led to the assemblage of a great number of teeth from fossil and extant species, rendering tooth morphology an important character for taxonomic descriptions, analysing ...

Fisheries bycatch and conservation priorities of young sharks (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii) in the Eastern Mediterranean

open access: yesZoology in the Middle East, 2022
Sharks are one of the most threatened groups of marine animals because of high exploitation rates coupled with low resilience to fishing pressure. We provide information on the current status of the young sharks caught in fishing nets in Iskenderun and ...

Bioenergetic Model of the Highly Exploited Shark Mustelus schmitti under a Global Warming Context

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Bioenergetic models are tools that allow the evaluation of the effect of environmental variables on fish growth. Successful implementation of this approach has been achieved in a few elasmobranch species. Our objective was to develop a bioenergetic model
