Species associated with whale sharks Rhincodon typus (Orectolobiformes, Rhincodontidae) in the Galapagos Archipelago [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023
Whale sharks Rhincodon typus frequently appear to interact or associate with other species, which vary depending on the community structure and the demographic of the whale sharks at each location globally. Here, we present the species sighted frequently

The whale shark genome reveals patterns of vertebrate gene family evolution

eLife, 2021
Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) are fundamental for understanding vertebrate evolution, yet their genomes are understudied. We report long-read sequencing of the whale shark genome to generate the best gapless chondrichthyan genome assembly yet ...

Stock Status Estimating of 5 Shark Species in the Waters Around Taiwan Using a Length-Based Bayesian Biomass Estimation (LBB) Method

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Five shark stocks in the waters around Taiwan were assessed using the LBB method, addressing the present gap. Among them, only one filter-feeding shark, megamouth shark Megachasma pelagios, qualified as having a healthy status.

Satellite tagging highlights the importance of productive Mozambican coastal waters to the ecology and conservation of whale sharks [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
The whale shark Rhincodon typus is an endangered, highly migratory species with a wide, albeit patchy, distribution through tropical oceans. Ten aerial survey flights along the southern Mozambican coast, conducted between 2004–2008, documented a ...

Recent whale shark ( Rhincodon typus) beach strandings in Australia [PDF]

Marine Biodiversity Records, 2009
We document two recent beach strandings of whale sharks on both the east and west coasts of Australia and compare them to strandings of other species of shark and cetaceans. Historically, whale shark stranding is an unusual phenomenon in Australia. Although the reasons for whale shark strandings are speculative, their low frequency suggests they are ...

The Needle in the Haystack: Uncovering the First Whale Shark (<i>Rhincodon typus</i>) Aggregation in the Coral Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT Aggregations are key events, supporting critical ecological and biological functions in many species. For highly mobile and elusive species, aggregations often provide the only feasible opportunities for research. Whale sharks ( Rhincodon typus
