Whale sharks, Rhincodon typus, aggregate around offshore platforms in Qatari waters of the Arabian Gulf to feed on fish spawn. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Whale sharks, Rhincodon typus, are known to aggregate to feed in a small number of locations in tropical and subtropical waters. Here we document a newly discovered major aggregation site for whale sharks within the Al Shaheen oil field, 90 km off the ...

Highly variable basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) diving behavior in the lower Bay of Fundy, Canada

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Diving behavior in basking sharks, the largest obligate ram filter feeding planktivore, is highly dependent on their location. In the Bay of Fundy, where basking sharks congregate in the boreal summer and autumn, the sharks’ copepod prey are located deep

Insight into the Internal Structure of Biogenic, Synthetic and Geological Apatite by Electron Microscopy and X‐Ray Scattering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Apatite occurs in many forms in nature, e.g. in teeth and geological minerals. Internally, biological apatite contains nanocrystals that are also found in synthetically prepared calcium phosphate nanoparticles which are used in biomedicine, e.g. for gene and drug delivery and for bone regeneration. Abstract Calcium phosphate is the inorganic component (
