Feichtinger, I. & Pollerspöck, J. & Harzhauser, M. & Auer, G. & Ćorić, S. & Kranner, M. & Guinot, G. (2022): Shifts in composition of northern Tethyan elasmobranch assemblages during the last millennia of the Cretaceous. Cretaceous Research, in press Article 105414

Extensive bulk sampling of seven horizons of a continuous succession deposited in an outer neritic environment of the latest Maastrichtian yielded more than three thousand ichthyoliths, including 1347 elasmobranch teeth. The sampled succession represents a characteristic deep-water fauna dominated by small squaliform sharks with an increase of species richness towards the end of the Cretaceous. The multidisciplinary approach of precise sampling in combination with a well-founded biostratigraphic classification of seven assemblages provides rare and direct evidence of diversity fluctuations within the latest Maastrichtian, immediately before the bolide impact triggered the severe mass extinction event at the K/Pg boundary. Although squaliform sharks dominate the fauna, a conspicuous heterogeneity of species abundance between the assemblages is observed and a noteworthy correlation between squaliform species richness and the abundance of Parasquatina zitteli (Orectolobiformes) might indicate clade competition for ecological niches. Among 15 elasmobranch species, this study describes one new genus (Fredipristis gen. nov.) and four new squaliform species (F. eximia gen. et sp. nov., Eoetmopterus davidi sp. nov., Proetmopterus lukasi sp. nov., and Cretascymnus beauryi sp. nov.), which highlights the importance and potential of bulk sampling for reconstructing elasmobranch diversity of deep-marine realms through time.

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 25066 (last month: 24951) references are changed.

Bañón, R. & Maño, T. 2022 Revisión taxonómica de la ictiología marina de Galicia: Clases Cephalaspidomorphi y Elasmobranchi [Taxonomic review of Galician marine ichthyology: Classes Cephalaspidomorphi and Elasmobranchi]. Nova Acta Científica Compostelana, 29, 1–23
https://revistas.usc.gal/index.php/nacc/article/view/6795/12117

In this work, a taxonomic revision of Galician fishes (Cephalaspidomorphi and Elasmobranchi classes) is carried out through the different treaties and ichthyologic publications published along history. A total of 83 species are listed, of which 14 are considered doubtful, as their presence has not been sufficieñtly demonstrated, or because their taxonomical status is uncertain. A revision of the scieñtific nomenclature used so far has allowed us to reassign old names to new species, correcting errors in the assignment of other authors. This revision also allows us to know the first citation for each species in Galician waters and to establish a precise chronology of the historical knowledge of the fish species of these groups.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 184, Article 114129
https://www.sciencedirect.com/.../abs/pii/S0025326X22008116
Highlights
• This preliminary work is the first study that presents the levels of 12 trace elements in the edible tissues of 9 different elasmobranch species caught in the Greek waters.
• Mining activities in the North Greece, appear to affect Pb concentration in the edible tissues of elasmobranchs and potentially other species
• Levels above the permissible limits for Hg and Pb were found in some elasmobranch species
• The consumption risk for adults and children found to be high for As and Hg, when some highly commercial species are consumed.

Extinct Chondrichthyes:
Wen, W. & Kriwet, J. & Zhang, Q.Y. & Benton, M.J. & Duffin, C.J. & Huang, J.Y. & Zhou, C.Y. & Hu, S.X. & Ma, Z.X. (2022): Hybodontiform shark remains (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) from the Lower Triassic of Yunnan Province, China, with comments on hybodontiform diversity across the PTB. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 42(1), Article e2108712
New species: Parvodus huizodus
Abstract: Hybodontiform shark teeth, cephalic and fin spines as well as placoid scales are reported here for the first time from the continental, Lower Triassic Dongchuan Formation near the village of Zhaojia (Huize County, Yunnan Province) in south-west China. The isolated teeth are assigned to three unidentified hybodontiforms but also to a new species of ParvodusP. huizodus sp. nov., the oldest record of this small-toothed lonchidiid shark genus, extending its range well down into the Lower Triassic. This new species, together with additional hybodontiform remains, provides new evidence of shark occurrences in the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction event, when freshwater environments might have acted as centers of origin rather than refugia for sharks. A review of the species assigned to Parvodus and similar small hybodontiform sharks reveals two distinct ecomorphological groups. Group 1, which is characterized by clutching-type dentitions, includes eight species (three of which remain unnamed) ranging from the Middle Triassic to Lower Cretaceous, while group 2, characterized by cutting-crushing type dentitions, comprises 11 species (six of which remain unnamed) including the type-species, P. rugianus ranging from the Lower Triassic to the Lower Cretaceous. The new fossils documented here reveal that hybodontiforms were already adapted to freshwater environments in the Lower Triassic rather than in the Jurassic in China.

Groundbreaking CITES Vote Regarding Global Shark Conservation

A groundbreaking decision has been taken today by world governments that promises to turn the tide for shark conservation, with 54 species of shark awarded increased protections by the 19th Conference of the Parties (CoP19) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The CITES CoP19 Parties voted in committee to list all 54 species of the requiem sharks and hammerhead sharks on CITES Appendix II. This news places nearly all shark species traded internationally for their fins under CITES oversight and controls, up from only 25% prior to CoP19.
