Ultimate Eocene (Priabonian) chondrichthyans (Holocephali, Elasmobranchii) of Antarctica [PDF]
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2016 The Eocene La Meseta Formation on Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula, is known for its remarkable wealth of fossil remains of chondrichthyans and teleosts. Chondrichthyans seemingly were dominant elements in the Antarctic Paleogene fish fauna, but decreased in abundance from middle to late Eocene, during which time remains of bony fishes increase ...

Development of the Synarcual in the Elephant Sharks (Holocephali; Chondrichthyes): Implications for Vertebral Formation and Fusion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The synarcual is a structure incorporating multiple elements of two or more anterior vertebrae of the axial skeleton, forming immediately posterior to the cranium.

Community assembly processes and drivers shaping marine fish community structure in the North Sea
Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 To preserve natural ecosystems and their biodiversity, there is a need to anticipate future ecosystem changes through better understanding of underlying drivers and assembly processes determining community composition. Assembly processes can be understood as a set of filters acting at different spatio‐temporal scales that jointly define the structure ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 634-647, July 2023., 2023 We have developed a workflow that evaluates the current status of GenBank for marine fishes. For a given combination of species and barcodes, a gap analysis is performed and potentially erroneous sequences are identified. Besides providing a tool for reference database curation, this study confirms the 14 need to increase 12S rRNA reference sequences ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Cartilaginous fishes are a highly vulnerable vertebrate group but remain poorly studied, especially those occupying deep-water ecological niches. Here, we describe the complete mitogenome of the deep-water chimaeriform Hydrolagus affinis (de Brito ...

Late Cretaceous chimaeroids (Chondrichthyes: Holocephali) from Alabama, USA [PDF]
PaleoBios, 2014 Tooth plates of three extinct species of callorhynchid holocephalans, Edaphodon mirificus, E. barberi, and Ischyodus bifurcatus have been collected from Upper Cretaceous strata of Alabama. Of the two species of Edaphodon, E. mirificus is represented by isolated tooth plates as well as associated dentitions.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Major knowledge gaps exist regarding Chondrichthyan trait evolution. Lack of integration between key fields of organismal biology is the main driver of this uncertainty. Increase in research effort and application of methodologies used frequently in other clades may be sufficient to overcome this lack of integration. Abstract Sharks, rays, and chimaera

Head anatomy of a lantern shark wet‐collection specimen (Chondrichthyes: Etmopteridae)
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 5, Page 872-890, May 2023., 2023 In this study, we present a two‐step micro‐computed tomography array to a 39‐year‐old wet‐collection Lantern Shark specimen of Etmopterus lucifer. The focus of our scanning approach is the head anatomy showing numerous internal structures, for example the ampullae of Lorenzini, the olfactory system and major brain areas.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Based on a simplified and attempt, yet rigorous, elicitation framework, we obtained expert's estimations of a species' probability of being caught (fatally), at fishing fleet segment scale. Based on these estimates, we developed a creative method, structured to assess the fishing‐related risks for species of conservation concern.

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 8, Issue 6, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Middle Miocene (Badenian) chondrichthyan fossils collected from the Tekeres Schlieren Member of the Baden Formation at Tekeres (southern Hungary, Mecsek Mts) are described here. The chondrichthyan assemblage is exceptionally diverse and well‐preserved, and consists of holocephalans, selachians and batomorphs.
