Species associated with whale sharks Rhincodon typus (Orectolobiformes, Rhincodontidae) in the Galapagos Archipelago [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 Whale sharks Rhincodon typus frequently appear to interact or associate with other species, which vary depending on the community structure and the demographic of the whale sharks at each location globally. Here, we present the species sighted frequently

Metagenomic Insights Into the Role of Gut Microbes in the Defensive Ink “Tsunabi” of Physeteroid Whales [PDF]
Ecol EvolWhales of the superfamily Physeteroidea exhibit a unique visual defense mechanism involving the release of dark reddish‐brown feces (locally called “tsunabi‐ink” in Japan) into the water. This study proposes that tsunabi‐ink is a metabolic byproduct of shifts in the gut microbial community, influenced by the host's digestive physiology and foraging ...

Satellite tagging highlights the importance of productive Mozambican coastal waters to the ecology and conservation of whale sharks [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The whale shark Rhincodon typus is an endangered, highly migratory species with a wide, albeit patchy, distribution through tropical oceans. Ten aerial survey flights along the southern Mozambican coast, conducted between 2004–2008, documented a ...

Low genetic differentiation across three major ocean populations of the whale shark, Rhincodon typus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Whale sharks are a declining species for which little biological data is available. While these animals are protected in many parts of their range, they are fished legally and illegally in some countries.
