Abstract: As regional endotherms, lamnid sharks can sustain high cruising speeds and perform frequent speed bursts. However, since endothermy comes with high energetic costs, lamnids may adopt different swimming strategies to manage their energy budget. Understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/physiol.2023.38.s1.5727623
Abstract: The shortfin mako sharks ( Isurus oxyrinchus) belongs to the family Lamnidae, which is a group of high performance regional endothermic elasmobranch fishes that has metabolic rates (47.4±8 ml/kg/min) higher than ectothermic elasmobranchs, and also… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/nano11040969
Abstract: Shark tooth enameloid is a hard tissue made up of nanoscale fluorapatite crystallites arranged in a unique hierarchical pattern. This microstructural design results in a macroscopic material that is stiff, strong, and tough, despite consisting… read more here.
