Feichtinger, I. & Guinot, G. & Straube, N. & Harzhauser, M. & Auer, G. & Ćorić, S. & Kranner, M. & Schellhorn, S. & Ladwig, J. & Thies, D. & Pollerspöck, J. 2022 Revision of the Cretaceous shark Protoxynotus (Chondrichthyes, Squaliformes) and early evolution of somniosid sharks. Cretaceous Research, in press
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195667122001951

Due to the peculiar combination of dental features characteristic for different squaliform families, the position of the Late Cretaceous genera Protoxynotus and Paraphorosoides within squaliform families has long been controversial. In this study, we revise these genera based on previously known fossil teeth and new dental material. The phylogenetic placement of Protoxynotus and Paraphorosoides among other extant and extinct squaliforms is discussed based on morphological characters combined with DNA sequence data for extant species. Our results suggest that Protoxynotus and Paraphorosoides should be included in the Somniosidae and that Paraphorosoides is a junior synonym of Protoxynotus. New dental material from the Campanian of Germany and the Maastrichtian of Austria enabled the description of a new species Protoxynotus mayrmelnhofi sp. nov. In addition, the evolution and origin of the characteristic squaliform tooth morphology are discussed, indicating that the elongated lower jaw teeth with erected cusp and distinct dignathic heterodonty of Protoxynotus represents a novel functional adaptation in its cutting-clutching type dentition among early squaliform sharks. Furthermore, the depositional environment of the tooth bearing horizons allows for an interpretation of the preferred habitat of this extinct dogfish shark, which exclusively occupied shelf environments of the Boreal- and northern Tethyan realms during the Late Cretaceous.

Molecular identification and first demographic insights of sharks based on artisanal fisheries bycatch in the Pacific Coast of Colombia: implications for conservation. PeerJ 10:e13478 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.13478

Abstract
The Pacific coast of Colombia is characterized by mangrove ecosystems which play a crucial role as possible nurseries for juvenile sharks. However, trophic food webs from coastal ecosystems are heavily disturbed by increased fishing pressure, which affects numerous shark species. In this region of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), fisheries’ data from coastal areas are scarce and unspecific, as most sharks from artisanal fisheries are landed decapitated and finless, making their morphological identification difficult. For the establishment and implementation of effective regional conservation and management policies, information on the diversity and population dynamics of shark species is crucial. We therefore sequenced the mitochondrial NADH2 gene of 696 samples taken from fishermen’s landings of shark’s bycatch along the Colombian north Pacific coast. We were able to identify 14 species of sharks, two of the most abundant species were Sphyrna lewini and Carcharhinus falciformis, both evaluated on IUCN the Red List of Threatened species (Critically Endangered and Vulnerable) and CITES regulated. We found low genetic diversity in the sampled area increasing the concern for both species in the region, even more considering that the majority of individuals were juveniles. Our results showed the importance of genetic markers for first population genetic insights as a complementary tool during the decision-making process in management plans. For this specific region, strategies such as the delimitation of conservation priority areas or the regulation of fishing gears could help improve the sustainability of shark populations in the Colombian Pacific.

ADJUSTMENT OF CITATION STYLE IN SHARK REFERENCES

We started to change our old (and unique!) citation style to adapt to the APA citation style (for information please see: https://www.mendeley.com/guides/apa-citation-guide) to make the usage of references listed in shark references easier and more compatible with a widely accepted reference style adopted by several international scientific journals. The transition is ongoing, so far 24783 (last month: 24643) references are changed.

Thanks to María Cristina Oddone for this new paper!

The aim of the present study was to analyze the morphological pattern of dermal denticles across the body of the poorly known deep-water catshark Galeus mincaronei, which is endemic to Southern Brazil. Additionally, we aimed to identify differences between sexes and stages of sexual maturity. For this purpose, we analyzed patches of eight skin samples from body regions, that is, the head, body, and tail. Dermal denticles were imaged using scanning electron microscopy.

Ontogenic Changes in Coloration of Rare Deepwater Richardson’s Ray Bathyraja richardsoni (Arhynchobatidae, Rajiformes, Chondrichthyes)
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1134/S1062360422010052

The features of the coloration of the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the rare deep-sea Richardson’s ray Bathyraja richardsoni (Arhynchobatidae) in the length range from 14 to 146 cm have been studied and its ontogenetic changes have been traced. New data on the coloration of embryos, immature, maturing, and sexually mature individuals are presented. It is shown that variations in the coloration of the dorsal surface are insignificant, while the coloration of the ventral surface can vary significantly.

Franzese, S. & Mutti, L.D. & Tropea, C. & Ivanov, V.A. (2022): Morphological study of members of the genus Echeneibothrium (Cestoda: Rhinebothriidea: Echeneibothriidae) from rajiform skates of the Argentine Sea and analysis of the phylogenetic relationships within the family Echeneibothriidae. Zoologischer Anzeiger, 299, 1–10
New species: Echeneibothrium cristinae
Abstract: A new cestode species of the genus Echeneibothrium van Beneden, 1850 was collected from a rajiform skate in the Argentine Sea: Echeneibothrium cristinae sp. nov. parasitizing Bathyraja cousseauae Díaz de Astarloa & Mabragaña, 2004, from coastal waters off Tierra del Fuego Province. This species differs from congeners by a particular combination of the following features: total length, number of proglottids, number of loculi and presence of a medial longitudinal septum on the distal bothridial surface, length of bothridial stalks, size of the cirrus sac, position of the ovarian isthmus and course of the vagina. In addition, two known Echeneibothrium species, originally reported in Dipturus chilensis (Guichenot, 1848) from the Chilean Sea, were collected from a new host in the Argentine Sea: Echeneibothrium multiloculatum Carvajal & Dailey, 1975 and Echeneibothrium williamsi Carvajal & Dailey, 1975, parasitizing the rajiform skate Dipturus brevicaudatus (Marini, 1933) from coastal waters off Buenos Aires Province (E. multiloculatum) and Patagonia (both species). Emendations were made to the descriptions and redescriptions of these species, including the modification of measurement ranges for several characters and the addition of important morphological information omitted in previous studies. Finally, a phylogenetic analysis based on morphological characters was performed to determine the inter-relationships within the family Echeneibothriidae, this study being the first to consider representatives of all known genera belonging to that family.

New research shows 2/3 of species in global shark fin trade at risk of extinction

Researchers say coastal sharks could benefit from increased protections, international trade regulations

Date: July 20, 2022
Source: Mote Marine Laboratory
Summary: Researchers sampled nearly 10,000 shark fin trimmings from markets in Hong Kong -- one of the largest shark fin trade hubs in the world. With a little DNA detective work, they unraveled the mystery of what fin belonged to what species, and found that endangered or threatened species were disproportionately represented in the trade, highlighting the need for additional international regulations in trade and shark management practices.
