Insights into the diet and trophic ecology of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) gained through DNA metabarcoding analyses of cloacal swabs

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1362-1377, November 2023., 2023
This study explores the diet of one of the world's most recognizable predators, the white shark. Dietary assessments are performed by genomic analysis of cloacal swabs collected from approximately 200 live sharks. Findings from this study provide insights into the trophic ecology and feeding behavior of the white shark and key marine resources ...

Skeletal ontogeny of the Plainfin Midshipman, Porichthys notatus (Percomorphacea: Batrachoidiformes)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 3, Page 447-494, March 2023., 2023
Description of skeletal ontogeny during early life history of Porichthys notatus. Establishment that the previously described as dorsalmost pectoral radial is homologous to the propterygium. Unique developmental pathway of the posterior basibranchial cartilage, first appearing as paired elements which fuse in later stages.

Evolutionary time and species diversity in aquatic ecosystems worldwide

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 6, Page 2090-2105, December 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is frequently described as the most dramatic biodiversity pattern on Earth, yet ecologists and biogeographers have failed to reach consensus on its primary cause. A key problem in explaining the LDG involves collinearity between multiple factors that are predicted to affect species richness in the same ...

Update of the risk assessment of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2011 risk assessment on hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food. HBCDDs, predominantly mixtures of the stereoisomers α‐, β‐ and γ‐HBCDD, were widely used additive flame retardants. Concern has been raised because of the occurrence of HBCDDs in the environment, food and in humans.

The infrabranchial musculature and its bearing on the phylogeny of percomorph fishes (Osteichthyes: Teleostei).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The muscles serving the ventral portion of the gill arches ( = infrabranchial musculature) are poorly known in bony fishes. A comparative analysis of the infrabranchial muscles in the major percomorph lineages reveals a large amount of phylogenetically ...

New records of Leptacanthichthys gracilispinis and Microlophichthys microlophus (Actinopterygii: Lophiiformes: Oneirodidae) from the subarctic Atlantic Ocean, including new lophiiform barcoding data and a rare observation of a copepod parasite in ceratioid anglerfishes [PDF]

open access: yesActa Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2019
In an ongoing effort to document and/or validate taxonomic identifications and monitor fishes in the subarctic Atlantic Oceans, including the production of pragmatic identification material, two new distributional records of ceratioid anglerfishes are ...
