Hammerhead sharks are among the most intriguing yet imperiled groups of large sharks
globally. Until recently, our understanding of their biology, movements, diet, and life histories …

Calculation of dietary niche characteristics using stable isotopes has become a popular
approach to understand the functional role of taxa across food webs. An underlying …

Genetic diversity (θ), effective population size (Ne), and contemporary levels of gene flow
are important parameters to estimate for species of conservation concern, such as the …

The diets of six shark species, Sphyrna lewini, Sphyrna zygaena, Carcharhinus obscurus,
Carcharhinus limbatus, Rhizoprionodon lalandii and Galeocerdo cuvier, were investigated …

Background Little information exists on the vertical and horizontal movements of juvenile
scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini). Measurements of the sizes of juveniles …

Pelagic predators such as sharks have been shown to be effective cephalopod samplers,
because they have high consumption rates and swimming speeds. The stomach contents of …

Evidence-based environmental management is urgently required to enable progress
towards global conservation commitments. To fill large-scale biodiversity knowledge gaps …

Selenium and mercury were evaluated in muscle, liver, kidney, brain, and the stomach
contents of juvenile scalloped hammerhead shark Sphyrna lewini. Se: Hg molar ratios were …

Our understanding of the trophic transfer of pollutants in marine subtropical ecosystems
remains limited due to the complexity of their food webs. Thus, we aimed to evaluate Cd, Cu …

Changes in feeding habits during ontogeny show that organisms can present shifts in
foraging behavior during their life cycle, which can alter local trophic dynamics. Therefore …
