Predictive habitat suitability models to aid conservation of elasmobranch diversity in the central Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
, 2015 Commercial fisheries have dramatically impacted elasmobranch populations worldwide. With high capture and bycatch rates, the abundance of many species is rapidly declining and around a quarter of the world’s sharks and rays are threatened with extinction.

Consumption to biomass (Q/B) ratio and estimates of Q/B-predictor parameters for Caribbean fishes [PDF]
, 2002 Estimates of the Q/B ratio and parameters of equations to 'predict' Q/B values for 116 fish stocks in the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombia are presented. A compilation of these estimates available for Caribbean Sea fishes (264 stocks) is also provided for ...

Preliminary study on age, growth and reproduction of Mustelus mustelus (Elasmobranchii: Carcharhiniformes: Triakidae) inhabiting the Gulf of Iskenderun, north-eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2018 Background. Shark populations within the eastern Mediterranean are declining due to overfishing. Unfortunately, our knowledge on the biology of sharks and specifically dogfishes within eastern Mediterranean is extremely limited due to the lack of ...

Diversification of the Neoselachii (Chondrichthyes) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous [PDF]
, 2006 The Neoselachii are a monophyletic group including all of the extant sharks and rays. They underwent rapid diversification throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous, going from low-diversity assemblages of members of extinct orders in the Late Triassic to ...

Assessment of a Social Media‐Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1392-1405, June 2025.Due to their higher performance and reliability, we consider SSDMs valuable for modelling unobserved discards and advise caution when using conditional joint prediction for continuous response variables such as biomass, especially when overdispersion is likely.
