DNA barcoding unveils skate (Chondrichthyes: Rajidae) species diversity in ‘ray’ products sold across Ireland and the UK [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Skates are widely consumed across the globe, but many large species are subject to considerable concern regarding their conservation and management. Within Europe such issues have recently driven policy changes so that, for the first time, reports of ...

Application of spatially robust stereo-BRUV sampling for quantifying fish assemblages in UK marine protected areas. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) often lack adequate data on the status of marine assemblages to support evidence‐based management. Stereo baited remote underwater video (BRUV) systems offer a powerful, low‐cost tool for collecting ecological data, yet they remain underutilized in the North East Atlantic, especially compared to more invasive ...

Growth and mechanical correlations of calcified cartilage in Batoidea: A histomorphological study using the Raja asterias model. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract This study investigates the growth and calcification of the appendicular skeleton in Raja asterias (Delaroche, 1809), a member of the Batoidea, to explore the relationship between histomorphology and the mechanics of batoid locomotion within the water column. Although much prior research has focused on the “tessellated pattern” in these fishes,

Distribution and taxonomic identity of the species of Narcine (Toperdiniformes: Narcinidae) in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The genus Narcine is the most diverse among electric rays of the order Torpediniformes and is also the only electric ray genus with more than one species occurring in South American waters: Narcine brasiliensis and Narcine bancroftii. The first species has been historically described as distributed from Brazil's southeast coast down to ...

Aquatic eDNA outperforms sedimentary eDNA for the detection of estuarine fish communities in subtropical coastal vegetated ecosystems. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract In South Africa, mangrove forests and seagrass meadows often co‐occur in estuarine systems and in combination host rich, often endemic biodiversity. There is an urgent need to explore community diversity in coastal vegetated ecosystems, given the degrading effects of climate change and anthropogenic pressures.

Individual Variation in Philopatry Is Unrelated to Activity and Space Use in the Undulate Skate <i>Raja undulata</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolConsistent individual variation in fine‐scale movement traits is unrelated to movements occurring at larger spatio‐temporal scales in undulate skates (Raja undulata). ABSTRACT Individual variation in behavior is widespread in animals. Movement traits, which describe how individuals interact with their environment, can vary across a range of spatial and
