Long-term changes in species composition and relative abundances of sharks at a provisioning site. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Diving with sharks, often in combination with food baiting/provisioning, has become an important product of today's recreational dive industry. Whereas the effects baiting/provisioning has on the behaviour and abundance of individual shark species are ...

Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park: the first comprehensive elasmobranch assessment reveals global hotspot for reef sharks

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
Elasmobranchs are experiencing population declines worldwide because of anthropogenic stressors. Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been shown to benefit mesopredatory species of shark.

Triaenodon obesus Ruppell

open access: yes, 2019
Triaenodon obesus (Rüppell) (Fig. 4A) A tissue sample was taken from a frozen specimen of Triaenodon obesus (SL-119) that had been collected earlier in 2018 from the Negombo fish market in Negombo in the Western Province. This specimen has now been deposited in the BRT Ichthyology Collection (BRT-I 0031).

Human introduction or natural dispersion? Atlantic Ocean occurrence of the Indo‐Pacific whitetip reef shark Triaenodon obesus

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, 2018
Occurrence of multiple whitetip reef sharks Triaenodon obesus in the Atlantic Ocean is reported for the first time from near a sunken ferry off the Paraná coast in south‐eastern Brazil. This occurrence is hypothesized to have been caused by either a human introduction or a remarkably long oceanic displacement.

Clarifying the Labrisomus Conundrum: Deep Divergence, Cryptic Lineages, and a Genetic Melting Pot in the Atlantic Ocean (Teleostei, Labrisomidae)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluate the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic validity of Atlantic species of Labrisomus, identifying the lineages currently assigned to L. nuchipinnis, and assessing the role of biogeographic barriers in shaping the evolutionary history and geographic distribution of the genus. Location Atlantic Ocean.

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.

From Data Deficient to Big Data in Shark Conservation

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 977-990, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Citizen science is increasingly harnessed worldwide to gather data otherwise requiring a prohibitive investment of funding and time. Meanwhile, the revolution in digital communication offers opportunities from crowdsourcing, big data approaches and social network mining to quickly and cost‐effectively fill major gaps in knowledge necessary to ...
