Considerable variation is inherent both within and between comparative physiological data
sets. Known sources for such variation include diet, gender, time of day and season of …

Why females would mate with multiple partners and have multiple fathers for clutches or
litters is a long-standing enigma. There is a broad dichotomy in hypotheses ranging from …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have recently been proposed to be more relevant in driving
population changes than the continuous increase in average temperatures associated with …

Sawfishes (Family Pristidae) constitute one of the most threatened families of marine fish,
and substantial management efforts are required to stabilize and recover their populations …

This review highlights the potential role that post‐copulatory sexual selection plays in
elasmobranch reproductive systems and the utility of this group to further understanding of …

Understanding mating systems is a pillar of behavioural ecology, placing the complex
interactions between females and males into a reproductive context. The field of multiple …

Within‐species sexual segregation is a widespread phenomenon among vertebrates, but its
causes remain a topic of much debate. Female avoidance of male coercive mating attempts …

Multiple paternity appears to be a common trait of elasmobranch mating systems, with its
occurrence likely driven by convenience, due to females seeking to minimize the stress of …

Elasmobranchs represent important components of marine ecosystems, but they can be
vulnerable to overexploitation. This has driven investigations into the population genetic …
