Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

First record of the bluntnose sixgill shark, Hexanchus griseus (Elasmobranchii, Hexanchiformes, Hexanchidae), from the southwestern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
We report an adult male bluntnose sixgill shark, Hexanchus griseus (Bonnaterre, 1788), of 326 cm in total length and 197 kg, which was captured by longline at a depth of about 120 m off Veracruz, Mexico. It was characterized by having six gills, six rows

Dental crown morphological variation and heterodonty in carcharhiniform sharks
Abstract Elasmobranch teeth are highly mineralized structures that constitute the majority of the fossil record for this group. Despite their taxonomic and evolutionary significance, detailed descriptions of dental morphology remain scarce. The order Carcharhiniformes, the most diverse among sharks, comprises 304 valid species that display remarkable ...

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are a significant component of ocean–atmosphere interactions and the climate system. These interactions determine both the development and strength of TCs, as well as various biogeochemical processes in the upper oceans, including

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

First Spatial Distribution Analysis of Male Sea Turtles in the Southern Gulf of Mexico
In the Gulf of Mexico, the bulk of published studies for sea turtles have focused on northern (United States) waters where economic resources are centered, with fewer studies in the southern portion of the basin, resulting in significant knowledge gaps ...
