Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

Energetic connectivity of diverse elasmobranch populations – implications for ecological resilience

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2023
Understanding the factors shaping patterns of ecological resilience is critical for mitigating the loss of global biodiversity. Throughout aquatic environments, highly mobile predators are thought to serve as important vectors of energy between ...

Diving into the vertical dimension of elasmobranch movement ecology

Science Advances, 2022
Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures.

Unoccupied aerial video (UAV) surveys as alternatives to BRUV surveys for monitoring elasmobranch species in coastal waters

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2022
Effective conservation strategies are founded by baseline information on abundance and diversity estimates. Method choice can influence the success of baseline surveys as method performance is variable and needs to be selected based on habitat and taxa.

Fishers' tales—Impact of artisanal fisheries on threatened sharks and rays in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Increasing fishing pressure has negatively impacted elasmobranch populations globally. Despite high levels of historical and current fishing pressure, the Bay of Bengal region remains data‐poor.

Evidence of Avian Predation on a Critically Endangered Elasmobranch, the Halavi Guitarfish (<i>Glaucostegus halavi</i>), in the Red Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We report six cases of suspected and confirmed osprey predation events on early lifestage Halavi guitarfish in the Al Wajh lagoon, northern Red Sea. These observations provide rare evidence of avian‐elasmobranch interactions in the region, and suggest that the use of shallow habitats may increase exposure to osprey predation.

Environmental DNA captures elasmobranch diversity in a temperate marine ecosystem

Environmental DNA, 2022
Many sharks, skates, and rays (elasmobranchs) are highly threatened by the activities of commercial fisheries, and a clear understanding of their distributions, diversity, and abundance can guide protective measures.

Functional diversity of sharks and rays is highly vulnerable and supported by unique species and locations worldwide

Nature Communications, 2023
Elasmobranchs (sharks, rays and skates) are among the most threatened marine vertebrates, yet their global functional diversity remains largely unknown. Here, we use a trait dataset of >1000 species to assess elasmobranch functional diversity and compare

Factors affecting gestation periods in elasmobranch fishes

Biology Open, 2022
Gestation periods vary greatly across elasmobranch species. Differences in body size and body temperature (i.e. major determinants of metabolic rates) might explain such variation.
