Female, juvenile, and calf sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus (Linnaeus 1758) records from Ireland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIreland has historically been viewed as a region where only male sperm whales were present. There have however been historical records of female and calf sperm whales from 1910 and 1916. More recently, there has been a trend of female strandings in Ireland since 1995 where 7 of the 10 events have taken place since 2013 indicating a shift in the sperm ...

Evolutionary trajectories of tooth histology patterns in modern sharks (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii). [PDF]
J Anat, 2020 Using micro‐computed tomography techniques, we examined the tooth mineralization in modern shark clades (Elasmobranchii, Chondrichthyes). The inclusion of fossil taxa and computing ancestral states allowed us to trace back the development of different mineralization patterns in deep time.

Defining a common language to assess external deformities in free‐ranging cetaceans
Mammal Review, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 189-205, July 2023., 2023 Cetacean species, as predators and biomonitoring models, are subjected to a variety of stressors that may result in poor health, injuries, and persistent marks. These malformations can be used to infer about animals' health, especially if combined with long‐term photographic identification. The main goal of this study was to provide: a broad definition

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.

First Documented Attack on a Live Human by a Cookiecutter Shark (Squaliformes, Dalatiidae: Isistius sp.) [PDF]
Pacific Science, 2011 Abstract: An adult long-distance swimmer attempting to cross the ‘Alenuihāhā Channel between the Hawaiian islands of Hawai'i and Maui was twice bitten by a cookiecutter shark (Squaliformes, Dalatiidae, Isistius sp.). One of these bites presented as an open, round, concave wound typically observed in cookiecutter shark bites inflicted by members of this
