The Phenomenon of Piebaldism in Sharks: A Review of Global Sightings and Patterns. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Chromatic disorders like piebaldism—a rare form of leucism causing partial pigment loss—have been documented in 25 wild shark cases across 17 species and 11 families, with varying anatomical distribution. This study compiles published and unpublished records to better understand the taxonomic and geographical spread of piebaldism and its potential ...

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...
