Surface Modification of 3D Biomimetic Shark Denticle Structures for Drag Reduction
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Advanced Materials"
DOI: 10.1002/adma.202417337
Abstract: Shark skin features superhydrophilic and riblet‐textured denticles that provide drag reduction, antifouling, and mechanical protection. The artificial riblet structures exhibit drag reduction capabilities in turbulent flow. However, the effects of the surface wettability of shark… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.4209
Abstract: Even though the risk of a negative encounter with a large and potentially dangerous shark species (e.g. white sharks—Carcharodon carcharias) is exceedingly rare, some localities implement indiscriminate shark culls to minimize this risk. Due to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21673
Abstract: Recent studies have uncovered mosaic patterns of allometric and isometric growth underlying ontogenetic shifts in the body form of elasmobranch species (shark and rays). It is thought that shifts in trophic and spatial ecology through… read more here.

Mercury Accumulation and Effects in the Brain of the Atlantic Sharpnose Shark (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00244-019-00691-0
Abstract: Few published studies have examined whether the elevated concentrations of the nonessential toxic metal mercury (Hg) often observed in shark muscle also occur in the shark brain or whether Hg accumulation affects shark neurophysiology. Therefore,… read more here.
