Comparative assessment of eDNA metabarcoding and longline deployments for elasmobranch surveying across a large tropical marine park network

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Medium‐ to large‐scale marine protected areas (MPAs) are playing an increasingly important role in global marine biodiversity conservation. A key question is “how do we collect relevant data on biodiversity and population trends to inform their design and measure success?” This question is particularly relevant for marine taxa that are ...

Diel vertical migration of the bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus), a species possessing orbital retia mirabilia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus, Lowe 1841) is one of three sharks in the family Alopiidae, which occupy pelagic, neritic, and shallow coastal waters throughout the altropics and subtropics (Gruber and Compagno, 1981; Castro, 1983).

Rostral and body shape analyses reveal cryptic diversity of Late Jurassic batomorphs (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) from Europe

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract The fossil record of chondrichthyans (chimaeras, sharks, rays and skates) consists largely of isolated teeth, with holomorphic specimens being extraordinary exceptions. However, numerous of these more or less completely preserved specimens are known from several Upper Jurassic deposits of Europe, enabling detailed analysis of their morphology.

Earliest Danian outer neritic elasmobranch assemblages reveal an environmentally controlled faunal turnover at the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary in the northern Tethyan Realm (Austria)

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
Abstract This study reports elasmobranch remains from two fossil‐rich horizons in the earliest Danian Olching Formation at Waidach, Austria. These outer neritic assemblages complement previous fine‐scale bulk‐sampling of latest Maastrichtian horizons at Waidach and document a regional elasmobranch faunal turnover across the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg)

From historical expedition diaries to whole genome sequencing: A case study of the likely extinct Red Sea torpedo ray

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 32-51, January 2024.
Abstract Torpedo rays (Torpedinidae, Torpediniformes) are small to moderately large batoids that produce an electric discharge. They are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical seas and are, as a result of their bottom‐dwelling behaviour, susceptible to trawl fishing and often end up as victims of bycatch.
