Mineralization of the Callorhinchus Vertebral Column (Holocephali; Chondrichthyes) [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Members of the Chondrichthyes (Elasmobranchii and Holocephali) are distinguished by their largely cartilaginous endoskeletons, which comprise an uncalcified core overlain by a mineralized layer; in the Elasmobranchii (sharks, skates, rays) most of this ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Hydrolagus mitsukurii (Jordan & Snyder, 1904) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023 Holocephali has foreseeable value to help our understanding of vertebrate genome evolution due to its phylogenetic position. In this study, we reported a complete mitochondrial genome of Hydrolagus mitsukurii, a species of holocephalans.

A mitochondrial genome assembly of the opal chimaera, Chimaera opalescens Luchetti, Iglésias et Sellos 2011, using PacBio HiFi long reads [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimeras) are a fascinating and highly vulnerable group of early branching gnathostomes. However, they remain comparatively poorly sampled from the point of view of molecular resources, with deep water taxa being ...

Revealing less derived nature of cartilaginous fish genomes with their evolutionary time scale inferred with nuclear genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cartilaginous fishes, divided into Holocephali (chimaeras) and Elasmoblanchii (sharks, rays and skates), occupy a key phylogenetic position among extant vertebrates in reconstructing their evolutionary processes. Their accurate evolutionary time scale is

Feeding habits of the cockfish, Callorhinchus callorynchus (Holocephali: Callorhinchidae) from off northern Argentina [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2020 The feeding habits of Callorhinchus callorynchus were investigated in coastal waters off northern Argentina. The effect of body size, seasons and regions was evaluated on female diet composition using a multiple-hypothesis modelling approach ...
