Cognitive abilities of sharks are well developed and comparable to teleosts and other
vertebrates. Most studies exploring elasmobranch cognitive abilities have used visual …

The marine environment is filled with biotic and abiotic sounds. Some of these sounds
predict important events that influence fitness while others are unimportant. Individuals can …

Sharks (elasmobranchs) are an ancient, diverse group of fishes, representing a basal stage
in the evolution of vertebrate hearing. Yet, our understanding of behavioural measures of …

The acoustic world of sharks and the use of their hearing sense are very poorly known. The
aims of this thesis were to examine the methodology of determining hearing thresholds …

The effect of sound on the behaviour of sharks has not been investigated since the 1970s.
Sound is, however, an important sensory stimulus underwater, as it can spread in all …

This study investigated memory retention capabilities of juvenile gray bamboo sharks
(Chiloscyllium griseum) using two-alternative forced-choice experiments. The sharks had …

Abstract 450 million years of evolution have given chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and allies)
ample time to adapt perfectly to their respective everyday life challenges and cognitive …

Sensory systems play a central role in guiding animal behaviour. They can be manipulated
to alter behavioural outcomes to limit negative interactions between humans and animals …

Simple Summary To date there is not much information regard the role that sounds may play
in the life of elasmobranchs. This gains particular importance if we consider the current …

This study assessed visual discrimination abilities in bamboo sharks (Chiloscyllium
griseum). In a visual discrimination task using two-dimensional (2D) geometric stimuli …
