Elasmobranch visual optics

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1990
The teleost eye, which is commonly used as a model of the typical aquatic eye, is described as having a spherical lens of elevated equivalent refractive index and an accommodative ability involving lens movement toward the retina. The question of lens aberrations, particularly longitudinal spherical aberration, is important because the lens is ...

Relative Eye Size in Elasmobranchs

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2007
Variation in relative eye size was investigated in a sample of 46 species of elasmobranch, 32 species of sharks and 14 species of batoids (skates and rays). To get a measure of eye size relative to body size, eye axial diameter was scaled with body mass using least-squares linear regression, using both raw species data, where species are treated as ...

Comparative hemostasis: Studies on elasmobranchs

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. Elasmobranch blood contains thrombocytes, which are agglutinated by thrombin but not by ADP. Dogfish thrombocytes appear to adhere to dogfish collagen. 2. 2. Elasmobranch blood clots very slowly often being still uncoagulated after 48 hr. 3. 3. Adding calcium accelerates elasmobranch clotting.

The Elasmobranch Ovary

2011
Few studies of sex differentiation in elasmobranchs exist. Chieffi's comparative work on Torpedo ocel/ata, T. marmora/a, and Scy!iorhinus canicula are the most complete, and his comparisons with other published accounts of sex differentiation (Picon 1962) show parallels.

Electrophysiology of the Elasmobranch Stomach

Science, 1959
A consequence of the recent study of the mechanism of gastric secretion has been the presumption, implicit ( 1 ) if not explicit ( 2 ), that the distinctive gastric transmucosal potential has a fundamental role in the formation of hydrochloric acid.

The Acoustical Biology of Elasmobranchs

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2001
A report on the auditory capabilities and their associated functions of elasmobranch fishes along with a brief review of the physics of underwater sound as it relates to hearing by fishes is provided. The inner ears of elasmobranchs possess structures that are no different from other fishes, except for an enlarged macula neglecta, which is unique among

Audition in Elasmobranchs

1981
This article presents a current assessment of elasmobranch auditory biology and an evaluation of future directions for research. Excellent review articles have recently detailed the pre-1975 development of this field (Popper and Fay 1977, Myrberg 1978), so I will not emphasize that work.
