Whale Shark in the Waters Around Ceylon [PDF]

Nature, 1933
WITH reference to Dr. Gudger's letter1 on the above subject, I am inclined to agree with the view which his last paragraph implicates, namely, that Rhineodon typus is a rare visitant to the waters around Ceylon.

Enigmatic Nodal and Lefty gene repertoire discrepancy: Latent evolutionary history revealed by vertebrate‐wide phylogeny

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homology in vertebrate body plans is traditionally ascribed to the high‐level conservation of regulatory components within the genetic programs governing them, particularly during the “phylotypic stage.” However, advancements in embryology and molecular phylogeny have unveiled the dynamic nature of gene repertoires responsible for early ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Seasonal Occurrence, Horizontal Movements, and Habitat Use Patterns of Whale Sharks (Rhincodon typus) in the Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) form large aggregations at continental shelf-edge banks during summer; however, knowledge of movements once they leave aggregation sites is limited.

Body temperature stability in the whale shark, the world's largest fish

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020
It is generally assumed that the body temperature of large animals is less likely to change because of their large body size, resulting in a high thermal inertia and a smaller surface area to volume ratio.

Aerodynamic enhancement of wind turbine blades through Peregrine falcon‐inspired surface designs

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract As global energy demands increase, enhancing renewable energy technologies, particularly wind turbines, is essential to meet sustainability goals. However, achieving higher efficiency remains challenging due to limitations in traditional blade designs. This study explores an innovative solution by applying biomimetic principles inspired by the

Microbiome structure in large pelagic sharks with distinct feeding ecologies

Animal Microbiome, 2022
Background Sharks play essential roles in ocean food webs and human culture, but also face population declines worldwide due to human activity. The relationship between sharks and the microbes on and in the shark body is unclear, despite research on ...

A First Comparison of Microplastics Abundance between Two Whale Shark Feeding Areas of the Gulf of California, Mexico.

, 2021
Abundance and typology of microplastics (MPs) were measured in 12 water samples collected from two whale sharks feeding areas of the Gulf of California (Bahía de los Angeles (BLA) and Bahia de La Paz (LAP)). The concentration of MPs was 0.47 MPs/ m3 in

Hydropower Effluent as a Marine Pollutant; Impacts of River Regulation on Estuarine and Coastal Ecology

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The confluence of rivers with the ocean creates biological hotspots where temperature, salinity, and nutrients mix to provide excellent conditions for rearing, growth, and refuge to a multitude of organisms. Worldwide, estuaries are highly productive and biodiverse.
