The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Ocean acidification and warming affect skeletal mineralization in a marine fish

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
Ocean acidification and warming are known to alter, and in many cases decrease, calcification rates of shell and reef building marine invertebrates. However, to date, there are no datasets on the combined effect of ocean pH and temperature on skeletal ...

Residency and Space Use of Endangered Smoothhound Sharks (Mustelus mustelus) in Relation to Marine Protection and Demersal Longline Fishing Along South Africa's South Coast

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shark populations are declining globally and the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a conservation tool may vary by species and environmental context. This study assessed space use and residency of smoothhound sharks (Mustelus mustelus)—an endangered, yet highly exploited shark—in relation to spatial protection and fishing risk ...

Investigating the Dynamics of Sex‐Structured Stock Assessment Models Under Sexual Size Dimorphism

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integration of separate sexes in stock assessment models represents an advancement towards more realistic modeling of interactions between fisheries and target species. However, increased model complexity can also introduce additional uncertainty into the modeling process.

Metavirome survey of eight ray-finned fishes: Domination of giant viral members from pandoravirus and megaviricetes [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Basic Research
Background: Fish are an essential source of food worldwide. Most microbial diversity in marine ecosystems remains uncharacterized, with viruses accounting for most of the remaining diversity.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...

Widespread complex enameloid microstructure in teeth and rostral denticles of Cretaceous sclerorhynchoid skates (Rajiformes: †Sclerorhynchoidei)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates that the teeth and rostral denticles of an extinct clade of sawfish‐like skates display an extremely derived enameloid microstructure, similar to what is known among sharks. The presence of tooth‐like enameloid microstructure in dermal denticles opens new perspectives about the origins and development of chondrichthyan ...

The oldest shark face—anatomy of the Devonian elasmobranch Phoebodus

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Phoebodus was recognized as the earliest elasmobranch known from articulated remains, a group which constitutes most modern cartilaginous fish comprising sharks, skates and rays. Its elongate body, the presence of two dorsal fins with fin spines, and the

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.
