Systematic implications of brain morphology in potamotrygonidae (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes)

Journal of Morphology, 2015
ABSTRACTThe gross brain morphology, brain proportions, and position of cranial nerves in all four genera (Potamotrygon, Plesiotrygon, Paratrygon, and Heliotrygon) and 11 of the species of the Neotropical stingray family Potamotrygonidae were studied to provide new characters that may have a bearing on internal potamotrygonid systematics.

Gastric lavage as a non-lethal method for stingray (Myliobatiformes) diet sampling

African Journal of Marine Science, 2015
Understanding the trophic interactions of ecologically important mesopredators such as Myliobatiformes (stingrays) is vital, but, given their susceptibility to overexploitation, the collection of stomach contents for dietary analysis necessitates the use of non-lethal methods.

Ecological singularity of temperate mesopredatory myliobatoid rays (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes)

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2016
Many myliobatoid rays are important mesopredators, having significant effects on coastal benthic communities. In tropical and subtropical high-diversity oligotrophic ecosystems, they partition their trophic resources, which results in high ecological singularity.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the pelagic stingray Pteroplatytrygon violacea (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The pelagic stingray Pteroplatytrygon violacea is the only pelagic species of the Dasyatidae (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii), which is widely distributed in all tropical, subtropical and temperate oceans. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Pteroplatytrygon violacea was determined.

Complete mitogenome of the pale-edged stingrayDasyatis zugei(Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2012
The complete mitogenome of the pale-edged stingray (Dasyatis zugei) was first confirmed in this study. The mitogenome is 18,264 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and 1 control region, with the typical gene order in vertebrates.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Sharpnose stingray Himantura gerrardi (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
In this study, we presented the complete mitochondrial genome of the Sharpnose stingray Himantura gerrardi for the first time, which was 17,685 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a putative control region. The overall nucleotide composition was 30.1% A, 27.5% C, 14.5% G and 28.0% T.

Mitochondrial genome of the longtail butterfly ray Gymnura poecilura (Myliobatiformes: Gymnuridae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The complete mitogenome the longtail butterfly ray (Gymnura poecilura) was first presented in this study. It is 17,874 bp in length, contains 37 genes with the typical gene order and transcriptional direction in vertebrates. The overall base composition is: 28.5% A, 26.5% T, 15.0% G and 30.1% C.
