The importance of considering genetic diversity in shark and ray conservation policies
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 …

Genomics overrules mitochondrial DNA, siding with morphology on a controversial case of species delimitation
Species delimitation is a major quest in biology and is essential for adequate management
of the organismal diversity. A challenging example comprises the fish species of red …

From rivers to ocean basins: The role of ocean barriers and philopatry in the genetic structuring of a cosmopolitan coastal predator
Abstract The Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) faces varying levels of exploitation around
the world due to its coastal distribution. Information regarding population connectivity is …

DNA-based species identification of shark finning seizures in Southwest Atlantic: implications for wildlife trade surveillance and law enforcement
Sharks developed life history traits that make them susceptible to overfishing. This is, in turn,
a risk for extinction, and several species are affected. The high price of shark fins in the …

From molecule to conservation: DNA-based methods to overcome frontiers in the shark and ray fin trade
Over the last years, many studies have reported the challenge of precisely identifying shark
and ray species from the fin trade. In Asia, the high demand for shark fin soup has resulted in …

eDNA metabarcoding reveals a rich but threatened and declining elasmobranch community in West Africa's largest marine protected area, the Banc d'Arguin
Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are the most threatened marine vertebrates, particularly in
tropical and subtropical areas. Their population status is often poorly understood due to …

Introgressive hybridisation between two widespread sharks in the east Pacific region
With just a handful of documented cases of hybridisation in cartilaginous fishes, shark
hybridisation remains poorly investigated. Small amounts of admixture have been detected …

[HTML][HTML] I Like This New Me: Unravelling Population Structure of Mediterranean Electric Rays and Taxonomic Uncertainties within Torpediniformes
Simple Summary Electric rays are currently poorly investigated; therefore, their biological
status, species identification and distribution are often hard to assess. The present work …

Demographic inferences after a range expansion can be biased: the test case of the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
The evolutionary history of species is a dynamic process as they modify, expand, and
contract their spatial distributions over time. Range expansions (REs) occur through a series …
