Combined phylogeny and new classification of catsharks
Combined phylogeny and new classification of catsharks (Chondrichthyes: Elasmobranchii: Carcharhiniformes) Karla D A Soares, Kleber Mathubara ABSTRACT: This is the first study to combine morphological and molecular characters to infer the phylogenetic relationships among catsharks. All currently valid genera classified in the family Scyliorhinidae s.l. and representatives of other carcharhinoid families plus one lamnoid and
Five-Month Incubation of Viviparous Deep-Water Shark Embryos in Artificial Uterine Fluid
Five-Month Incubation of Viviparous Deep-Water Shark Embryos in Artificial Uterine Fluid Tomita Taketeru, Toda Minoru, Murakumo Kiyomi, Kaneko Atsushi, Yano Nagisa, Nakamura Masaru, Sato Keiichi ABSTRACT: In this study, we developed an extra-uterine life-support system (artificial uterus) for viviparous elasmobranchs. Using this system, we maintained two embryonic specimens of the slendertail lantern shark (Etmopterus molleri)
