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

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 ...

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.

Evidence of tide pool use by a viviparous elasmobranch as a parturition site [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2019 Despite the frequent occurrence of elasmobranchs in surf zones, the use of tidal pools by these animals is unknown, with only one incidental observation reported in the literature.
