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 …

Females of many vertebrate species have the capacity to store sperm within their
reproductive tracts for prolonged periods of time. Termed long-term sperm storage, this …

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 …

In this study, multiple paternity (MP) was investigated in three commercially important shark
species, common smoothhound Mustelus mustelus, dusky shark Carcharhinus obscurus …

This study assessed the presence and prevalence of multiple paternity (MP) in litters of grey
reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) and scalloped hammerheads (Sphyrna lewini) …

This mark‐recapture study of starry smooth‐hound Mustelus asterias tagged during the
summer months near the Dutch coast demonstrates a large‐scale spatial sex differentiation …

Female sperm storage (FSS) has been reported in Chondrichthyans species, and involves
the prolonged maintenance of viable sperm after mating events, prior to egg fertilization …

The presence of sperm storage was evaluated in several deep-sea elasmobranchs
(Centrophorus squamosus, Centroselachus crepidater, Deania calcea, Brochiraja spinifera …

We studied the morphology and histology of the oviducal gland (OG) in the brown ray (Raja
miraletus) and the long‐nosed skate (Dipturus oxyrinchus) to understand its functional role …

Multiple paternity (MP) in the brown smooth‐hound shark (Mustelus henlei) was assessed in
15 litters (15 mothers and 97 embryos) collected in the northern Gulf of California of which …
