Grow fast, die young: Does compensatory growth reduce survival of juvenile blacktip sharks in the western Gulf of Mexico?
Grow fast, die young: Does compensatory growth reduce survival of juvenile blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) in the western Gulf of Mexico? Philip Matich, Jeffrey D. Plumlee, Mark Fisher ABSTRACT: Effective conservation and management necessitate an understanding of the ecological mechanisms that shape species life histories in order to predict how variability in natural and anthropogenic
Diverse stem-chondrichthyan oral structures and evidence for an independently acquired acanthodid dentition
Diverse stem-chondrichthyan oral structures and evidence for an independently acquired acanthodid dentition Richard P. Dearden and Sam Giles ABSTRACT: The teeth of sharks famously form a series of transversely organized files with a conveyor-belt replacement that are borne directly on the jaw cartilages, in contrast to the dermal plate-borne dentition of bony fishes that undergoes
