DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2021.101900
Abstract: Abstract Understanding the degree to which fishing operations overlap with the distribution of exploited populations is essential for population assessments and in the formulation of management measures. Here we used ecological niche models to estimate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.14160
Abstract: Great hammerhead sharks Sphyrna mokarran are the largest member of Sphyrnidae, yet the roles of these large sharks in the food webs of coastal ecosystems are still poorly understood. Here we obtained samples of muscle,… read more here.

DNA Analysis of Juvenile Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks Sphyrna lewini (Griffith, 1834) Reveals Multiple Breeding Populations and Signs of Adaptive Divergence in the South Pacific
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Marine Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00718
Abstract: Shark species have undergone drastic population declines in recent decades due to overfishing and habitat destruction; thus, establishing connectivity among the populations of various shark species is important to determine the appropriate units and spatial… read more here.
