Dental microwear texture analysis as a tool for dietary discrimination in elasmobranchs
Scientific Reports, 2021 As abundant and widespread predators, elasmobranchs play influential roles in food-web dynamics of marine communities. Clearly, these trophic interactions have significant implications for fisheries management and marine conservation, yet elasmobranch ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 A vulnerable species group, such as, the elasmobranchs, in a data-deficient context presents a complicated management problem. Evidence suggests that the Azores islands, a remote archipelago on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, serve essential functions in the ...

Elasmobranchs as bioindicators of pollution in the marine environment.
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022 Bioindicator species are increasingly valuable in environmental pollution monitoring, and elasmobranch species include many suitable candidates for that role.

Nature Communications, 2022 Elasmobranchs are heavily impacted by fishing. Catch statistics are grossly underestimated due to missing data from various fishery sectors such as small-scale fisheries.

Unified natural mortality estimation for teleosts and elasmobranchs
, 2021 Natural mortality, M, is a key parameter for the assessment and management of living resources but is difficult to observe directly. Therefore, M is often estimated indirectly from life history traits, and it is typically assumed to be invariant over ...

Sharks and their relatives: can their past help predict their future?
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Elasmobranchs (i.e., sharks, skates, and rays) have survived five mass extinction events and changed relatively little throughout their ~450-million-year evolutionary history. Therefore, elasmobranchs may provide critical evolutionary perspectives on how

Mediterranean Marine Science, 2021 The Mediterranean Sea has a long-lasting history of fishery exploitation that, together with other anthropogenic impacts, has led to declines in several marine organisms.

Gill function in an elasmobranch [PDF]
Zeitschrift f�r Vergleichende Physiologie, 1971 Highly efficient oxygen uptake in elasmobranchs, as indicated by frequent excess of PaO2 over PEO2 has previously been ascribed to the operation of multicapillary rather than counter-current gas exchange by the gills. Analysis of models shows that, at maximum efficiency, a multicapillary system cannot account for values of PaO2 greater than (PIO2+PEO2)/

MEDLEM database, a data collection on large Elasmobranchs in the Mediterranean and Black seas
Mediterranean Marine Science, 2020 The Mediterranean Large Elasmobranchs Monitoring (MEDLEM) database contains over 3000 records (more than 4000 individuals) of large elasmobranch species from 20 different countries around the Mediterranean and Black seas, observed from 1666 to 2017.

Quantitative assessment of inner ear variation in elasmobranchs
Scientific Reports, 2023 Considerable diversity has been documented in most sensory systems of elasmobranchs (sharks, rays, and skates); however, relatively little is known about morphological variation in the auditory system of these fishes.
