Phylogeny of the Electric Rays of the Family Narcinidae (Gill, 1862): Systematic Review and Evidence of the Dispersal Routes to America

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The family Narcinidae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, its systematic composition and phylogenetic position within Torpediniformes remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the family Narcinidae and investigates its distribution patterns using molecular systematics.

The distribution of a rarely encountered stingray, Megatrygon microps, informed by citizen science: A systematic review

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study combines literature and online data sources to expand the smalleye stingray's range, highlight ecological interactions and specific threats. Abstract Many chondrichthyan fishes are experiencing alarming population declines primarily due to overfishing, exacerbated by their inherently vulnerable life history traits including slow growth rates

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]

open access: yesZoosystematics and Evolution
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.

Figure 1 in Evolutionary history of the devilrays (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes) from fossil and morphological inference

open access: yes, 2015
Figure 1. Body shapes of pelagic Myliobatiformes are expanded to show familial differences in head shape. The two main phylogenetic hypotheses (see text for references) concerning the myliobatoids are reported on both sides: according the first one (A ...

Only One Percent of Important Shark and Ray Areas in the Western Indian Ocean Are Fully Protected From Fishing Pressure

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Delineation of Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) In the Western Indian Ocean was enhanced by the verification and incorporation of unpublished records. Even with this expanded dataset, ~99% of ISRA coverage fell outside of fully protected, no‐take MPAs.

The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 41-55, January 2026.
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.

Bio-Ecological Features Update on Eleven Rare Cartilaginous Fish in the Central-Western Mediterranean Sea as a Contribution for Their Conservation

open access: yesLife, 2021
Cartilaginous fish are commonly recognized as key species in marine ecosystems for their fundamental ecological role as top predators. Nevertheless, effective management plans for cartilaginous fish are still missing, due to the lack of knowledge on ...
