Since the first investigation 25 years ago, the application of genetic tools to address
ecological and evolutionary questions in elasmobranch studies has greatly expanded. Major …

Biology of Sharks and Their Relatives is an award-winning and groundbreaking exploration
of the fundamental elements of the taxonomy, systematics, physiology, and ecology of …

In an effort to provide a framework for the accurate identification of elasmobranchs, driven in
large part by the needs of parasitological studies, a comprehensive survey of DNA …

Understanding how geography, oceanography, and climate have ultimately shaped marine
biodiversity requires aligning the distributions of genetic diversity across multiple taxa. Here …

This report provides a review of our knowledge of the bycatches, defined as discarded dead,
from the tropical tuna purse seine fisheries of the world. The major fishing grounds involved …

Many populations of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are experiencing severe declines
due to the high demand for shark fins in Asia, the activities of unregulated fisheries, and …

We synthesize the evolutionary implications of recent advances in the fields of
phylogeography, biogeography and palaeogeography for shallow‐water marine species …

Abstract The Indo‐Malay‐Philippine (IMP) biodiversity hotspot, bounded by the Philippines,
the Malay Peninsula and New Guinea, is the epicentre of marine biodiversity. Hypotheses to …

Nursery habitat use and growth rates of juvenile scalloped hammerhead sharks Sphyrna
lewini were measured in a Hawai 'i nursery (Kane'ohe Bay, O'ahu) using a 28 mo tag-and …

Large pelagic vertebrates pose special conservation challenges because their movements
generally exceed the boundaries of any single jurisdiction. To assess the population …
