Resurrection of the family Aetobatidae (Myliobatiformes) for the pelagic eagle rays, genus Aetobatus

Zootaxa, 2016
Molecular and morphological data show that the pelagic eagle rays of the genus Aetobatus form a distinct family-level grouping separate from the true eagle rays, Aetomylaeus and Myliobatis (family Myliobatidae). The family Aetobatidae is herein resurrected to include the pelagic eagle rays and definitions are provided for this family and for the ...

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.

A revised classification of the family Dasyatidae (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes) based on new morphological and molecular insights

Zootaxa, 2016
The higher-level taxonomy of the stingrays (Dasyatidae) has never been comprehensively reviewed. Recent phylogenetic studies, supported by morphological data, have provided evidence that the group is monophyletic and consists of four major subgroups, the subfamilies Dasyatinae, Neotrygoninae, Urogymninae and Hypolophinae. A morphologically based review

Environmentally-induced osmoregulation in Neotropical freshwater stingrays (Myliobatiformes: Potamotrygoninae) after controlling for phylogeny

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2021
The osmotic physiology of freshwater stingrays was investigated in fifteen species from white (WW), black (BW), and clearwater (CW) rivers of Brazilian hydrographic basins. Regardless of phylogeny, potamotrygonids collected in the BW (Negro, Jutai, Nhamunda, and Manacapuru rivers), and CW (Tapajos, Parana, Mutum, Demeni, and Branco rivers) exhibited ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the red stingrayDasyatis akajei(Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the red stingray Dasyatis akajei. It is 17,658 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region. The gene arrangement and transcriptional direction were the same as those of the typical vertebrate mitogenomes.
