Neogene Caribbean elasmobranchs: diversity, paleoecology and paleoenvironmental significance of the Cocinetas Basin assemblage (Guajira Peninsula, Colombia) [PDF]
The Cocinetas Basin is located on the eastern flank of the Guajira Peninsula, northern Colombia (southern Caribbean). During the late Oligocene through the Pliocene, much of the basin was submerged.

The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly recognised as a critical threat to global biodiversity, yet its impacts on reproductive processes remain poorly understood in many marine taxa. Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) represent a particularly vulnerable group due to their peculiar life histories, low fecundity, and diverse reproductive modes.

Molecular phylogeny, including a new species of Anindobothrium (Cestoda, Rhinebothriidea) from the Southern eagle ray Myliobatis goodei, finally solves the taxonomic enigma of Phyllobothrium myliobatidis [PDF]
During a parasitological survey of tapeworms from Myliobatis goodei Garman, 1885 (Myliobatiformes: Myliobatidae) in coastal waters off Argentina in the Southwestern Atlantic, a new rhinebothriidean cestode species, Anindobothrium danielae sp.

The lack of biometric data on chondrichthyan species has impeded the implementation of management strategies essential for the conservation of sharks and rays captured using different fishing gears in coastal ecosystems. This study aims to assess morphometric relationships (length–weight [LW], length–dorsal length [DL], and length–disc width [DW]) and ...

Myliobatiformes indet. Plate 7, Figs 11–27 Material. 111 isolated teeth and tooth fragments. NHMW 2025/0177/0031 (18). Description. A selection of various isolated and poorly preserved teeth is given here (Pl. 7, figs 11–24) to show the large interspecific variability that is known among this group. Discussion. Both for lateral teeth (Pl. 7, figs 25–26)

ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of human activities on fish communities is critical for the effective conservation of Amazonian ecosystems. In this study, we sampled environmental DNA (eDNA) from 17 sites (lakes and rivers) in two Peruvian national reserves, Pacaya‐Samiria and Allpahuayo‐Mishana, using a metabarcoding approach with four genetic ...
