Using biotelemetry to assess drone effects on whale sharks

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The use of unoccupied aerial vehicles or drones for wildlife research has proliferated in recent years and they have proven to be a valuable tool for collecting data for population surveys, morphometric and body condition measurements, and for observing behavior.

Occurrence of the hemoparasite Cyrilia spp. in the Amazonian stingray Potamotrygon wallacei [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Freshwater stingrays play a crucial ecological role in the Amazon; however, studies on their parasitic fauna still need to be made available. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of hemoparasites, specifically Cyrilia spp., in specimens of ...

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 246-259, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...

Use of Pristis spp. (Elasmobranchii: Pristidae) by Hunter-Gatherers on the Coast of São Paulo, Brazil

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology
Artifacts made from rays (rostral teeth and spine) are very common in shell mounds on the coast of São Paulo, Brazil. The presence of the genus Pristis among the studied species of elasmobranch fishes in this shell mounds reinforces the hypothesis these ...

Multiple Cone Visual Pigments and the Potential for Trichromatic Colour Vision in Two Species of Elasmobranch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are the modern descendents of the first jawed vertebrates and, as apex predators, often occupy the highest trophic levels of aquatic (predominantly marine) ecosystems.

Discard Survival of Thornback Ray (Raja clavata), Undulate Ray (Raja undulata) and Small‐Eyed Ray (Raja microocellata) in Northeast Atlantic Inshore Fisheries

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 355-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Quantifying discard survival of species is crucial for effective fishery management. Electronic tags and visual health assessments were used to estimate postrelease survival of commercially caught thornback ray (Raja clavata), undulate ray (Raja undulata) and small‐eyed ray (Raja microocellata) from Northeast Atlantic inshore fisheries ...

Genome‐Wide DNA Methylation Patterns Predict Age in the Zebra Shark (Stegostoma tigrinum) and Provide Insight Into the Evolution of Vertebrate Aging

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Epigenomic changes are a hallmark of aging, and DNA methylation (DNAm) has emerged as the most reliable molecular marker of an individual's age. Genome‐wide patterns of age‐associated hypo‐ and hypermethylation have been applied to generate predictive models (i.e., “epigenetic clocks”) capable of estimating chronological age in an increasingly

Working Group on Elasmobranch Fishes (WGEF) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
ICES WGEF meets annually and is responsible for providing assessments and advice on the state of the stocks of sharks, skates, and rays throughout the ICES area. In 2020, WGEF provided ad-vice for 28 stocks of rays and skates distributed in two ecoregions: the Celtic Seas and the Bay of Biscay and Iberian coast.
