Advances in the study of the trophic niche of batoids with distribution in Mexican waters
Advances in the study of the trophic niche of batoids with distribution in Mexican waters Francisco Serrano-Flores, Yassir E. Torres-Rojas, Matthew J. Ajemian, Manuel Mendoza-Carranza, Juan C. Pérez-Jiménez ABSTRACT: Batoid (rays and skates) populations are declining worldwide, with unknown ecological consequences due to lacking consolidated data on the trophic ecology of these species. Such trends
Contemporary records of the rare and critically endangered angular rough shark from the eastern Adriatic Sea
Contemporary records of the rare and critically endangered angular rough shark, Oxynotus centrina (Linnaeus, 1758), from the eastern Adriatic Sea Andrej A. Gajić, Suvad Lelo, Aleksandar Joksimović, Ana Pešić, Jovana Tomanić, Hajrudin Beširović, Branko Dragičević ABSTRACT: Angular rough shark, Oxynotus centrina (Linnaeus, 1758), is a poorly known and rare bathydemersal shark inhabiting continental shelves and
Behavioural thermoregulation linked to foraging in blue sharks
Behavioural thermoregulation linked to foraging in blue sharks Yuuki Y. Watanabe, Itsumi Nakamura, Wei-Chuan Chiang ABSTRACT: Large pelagic fishes often dive and surface repeatedly as if they were airbreathers, raising a question about the functions of these movements. Some species (e.g., bigeye tuna, ocean sunfish) apparently alternate foraging in deep cold waters and rewarming in
Novel Insights Into the Genetic Population Connectivity of Transient Whale Sharks in Pacific Panama
Novel Insights Into the Genetic Population Connectivity of Transient Whale Sharks (Rhincodon typus) in Pacific Panama Provide Crucial Data for Conservation Efforts Héctor M. Guzmán, Caitlin E. Beaver, Edgardo Díaz-Ferguson ABSTRACT: The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is an endangered and highly migratory species, of which solitary individuals or aggregations are observed in oceans worldwide and
