This study examines life history patterns and correlations between traits related to body size,
reproduction, age, and growth in sharks, using data from 230 populations representing 164 …

The reproductive diversity of extant cartilaginous fishes (class Chondrichthyes) is
extraordinarily broad, reflecting more than 400 million years of evolutionary history. Among …

Background In recent decades, large pelagic and coastal shark populations have declined
dramatically with increased fishing; however, the status of sharks in other systems such as …

Here, we report trading of endangered shark species in a world hotspot for elasmobranch
conservation in Brazil. Data on shark fisheries are scarce in Brazil, although the northern …

A non-overlapping acoustic receiver array was used to track the movements of two common
shark species, nurse Ginglymostoma cirratum (n= 25) and Caribbean reef Carcharhinus …

Predator–prey interactions play a central role in the behavior, ecology, and population
biology of most taxa and are critical in community dynamics. For elasmobranchs, most …

Bonefish (Albula spp.) are a widely distributed group of morphologically indistinguishable
marine fish species, that provide a recreational sport fishery, that is important for many local …

The elasmobranch fauna of Everglades National Park was studied using longline, gillnet,
and rod and reel surveys. Thirteen species of elasmobranchs were identified including three …

The species that comprise class Chondrichthyes exhibit a wide diversity of reproductive
strategies, but they all have internal fertilization and a relatively small number of large …

Life-cycles of marine tapeworms of the orders Tetraphyllidea and Rhinebothriidea are poorly
known primarily because their larvae typically lack species level, taxonomically …
