Sexual Size Dimorphism in Rays and Skates (Elasmobranchii: Batoidea). [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Interspecific trends in sexual size dimorphism are superficially similar in batoids to sharks, but are underlain by different modes of evolution. Selection for substantial SSD in batoids seems to be weaker than in sharks. This may be due to differences in the strength of fecundity selection.

Species boundaries in the Himantura uarnak species complex (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2013
Samples of the 'Himantura uarnak' species complex (H. leoparda, H. uarnak, H. undulata under their current definitions), mostly from the Coral Triangle, were analyzed using nuclear markers and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Genotypes at five intron loci showed four reproductively isolated clusters of individuals.
