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

Low diversity and abundance of predatory fishes in a peripheral coral reef ecosystem. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur findings provide insights into the structuring of coral reef fish communities, demonstrating that distinct assemblages can occur within semi‐enclosed seas at smaller spatial scales than previously documented. We also report a low abundance of threatened fish species in an area of rapid, large‐scale coastal development, which identifies an urgent ...

Sexual dimorphisms in the dermal denticles of thelesser-spotted catshark, Scyliorhinus canicula (Linnaeus, 1758) [PDF]
, 2013 The dermal layers of several elasmobranch species have been shown to be sexually dimorphic. Generally, when this occurs the females have thicker dermal layers compared to those of males. This sexual dimorphism has been suggested to occur as a response to

Multiple paternity and hybridization in two smooth-hound sharks [PDF]
, 2015 Multiple paternity appears to be a common trait of elasmobranch mating systems, with its occurrence likely driven by convenience, due to females seeking to minimize the stress of male harassment.

The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility
Fish 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.

Abundance patterns of reef sharks and predatory fishes on differently zoned reefs in the offshore Townsville region final report to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority [PDF]
, 2008 Sharks were counted in six 500 x 20 m transects on the slope of each reef during late March 2008. Densities of whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus) were twice as high on green reefs as on blue reefs but were twice as high on pink reefs as on green ...
