Pollerspöck, J. & Unger, E. (2022): „Beiträge zur Kenntniss der fossilen Fische aus der Molasse von Baltringen“ – Revision zum 200. Geburtstag von Pfarrer Josef Probst. Teil Batoidei (Probst 1877).  Jahreshefte der Gesellschaft für Naturkunde Württemberg, 178, 149–204

Abstract: With the present first part of the study the ray species from the Molasse of Baltringen (Baden-Wuerttemberg, SW Germany) published by Probst (1877) are reinterpreted and taxonomically updated to the current state of knowledge. The main focus of this work is on the illustration originals or types deposited in the museum of the Eberhard Karls University of Tuebingen. The material was verified regarding completeness, inventoried and examined in detail. 32 types as well as 10 illustration originals could be found; 13 used or newly introduced species names were evaluated as nomina dubia, one species and one illustration original is a tooth or rostral spine of a shark (Raja grandis = Ginglymostoma delfortriei Daimeries, 1889; Pristis sp. = Pristiophorus suevicus Jaekel, 1890). Keywords: Batoidea, Miocene, Ottnangian, North Alpine Foreland Basin, Molasse.

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 25175 (last month: 25066) references are changed.

Thanks to Keny Kanagusuku for this new open access paper.
Valderrama-Herrera, M. & Kanagusuku, K. & Ramírez-Amaro, S. 2022 Morphological abnormalities in the Chilean Eagle ray #Myliobatis chilensis (Myliobatiformes: Myliobatidae) off the Peruvian coast, Southeast Pacific. Universitas Scientiarum, 27(3), 292–312
https://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/.../article/view/34726
Records about morphological abnormalities in rays of the genus Myliobatis are scarce worldwide. In the present study, three specimens exhibiting different malformations were identified during the monitoring of the reproductive biology of the Chilean eagle ray Myliobatis chilensis, conducted from 2017 to 2018 in the fishing port of Salaverry (northern Peru). The identified specimens included: (i) a female with split pectoral fins, (ii) a male with an unfused-to-the-head pectoral fin, and (iii) a female with a short and thick tail. Here we report and discuss the implications and likely causes of these first three cases of morphological abnormalities in M. chilensis from the western Pacific.

New open access paper about the White Shark! Thanks to Julia Spaet for sharing!
Spaet, J.L.Y. & Butcher, P.A. & Manica, A. & Lam, C.H. 2022 Spatial Dynamics and Fine-Scale Vertical Behaviour of Immature Eastern #Australasian White #Sharks (#Carcharodon carcharias). Biology, 11, Article 1689
https://www.mdpi.com/2079-7737/11/12/1689/htm
https://shark-references.com/.../view/Carcharodon-carcharias
For white sharks in Australian and New Zealand waters, horizontal movement has been relatively well studied, but their diving behaviour is less well understood. We tagged 27 immature white sharks with three different tag types that collect positional, temperature and depth data. Tagged sharks travelled from southern Queensland to southern Tasmania and New Zealand. All sharks frequently dove up and down the water column (0–632 m) and experienced temperatures ranging from 7.8–28.9 °C. Importantly, there was a noticeable difference in the sharks’ diving behaviour between day and nighttime. During the day, white sharks remained at relatively constant depths, while at night, they constantly moved vertically through the water column in a high frequency. These findings help us to better understand how Eastern Australasian (EA) white sharks navigate through the ocean and provide new information on the ecology of juvenile white sharks.

New 150 million old egg capsule discoverd! Thanks to Christopher J. Duffin for this new paper!
Duffin, C.J. & Lauer, B. & Lauer, R. 2022 Chimaeroid egg cases from the Late Jurassic of the Solnhofen area (S Germany). Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen, 306(2), 161–175
https://www.schweizerbart.de/.../Chimaeroid_egg_cases...
The ichnotaxon Chimaerotheca schernfeldensis nov. isp. is established here for holocephalian egg cases from the Plattenkalk (Altmühltal Formation, Tithonian, Late Jurassic) of the Solnhofen/Eichstätt area of southern Germany, including the first ever double case of a holocephalian described from the fossil record. The egg capsules measure up to 400 mm in length and have a short beak but a very long pedicle; the ratio of capsule length to maximum width is 5.1:1, the largest of any chimaeroid egg case described so far. The moderately well-developed lateral webs are supported by branched and unbranched costae and are confined to the beak, trunk and upper pedicle areas of the case. The egg cases belong to the Rhinochimaera-type ichnospecies group and were probably produced by Ischyodus quenstedti, at around 1.5 m in length the largest of the Plattenkalk chimaeroids.

TAXONOMIC NEWS/ NEW SPECIES


Extant Chondrichthyes:

Ebert, D.A. & Jang, J.J. (2022) Galeus friedrichi (Carcharhiniformes: Pentanchidae), a new sawtail catshark from the Philippines. Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation, 39, 45–53
New species: Galeus friedrichi
Abstract: A new species of sawtail catshark, Galeus friedrichi n. sp., is described from the Philippines. The new species is separable from other western Pacific Galeus species by the absence of saddle or blotch markings, a large size, >50 cm TL, 40 monospondylous vertebrae, and 83 precaudal vertebrae. All regional Galeus, other than Galeus sauteri, can be distinguished by having a marking pattern made up of a series of dark to light saddle or blotch patterns beneath the dorsal fins and on the caudal fin. Galeus sauteri can be separated from G. friedrichi n. sp. by its relatively small adult size, <50 cm TL, and fewer precaudal vertebrae (73–76 vs. 83). The two other large regional species, G. longirostris and G. nipponensis are presently known only from Japan and Taiwan. The new species is the third Galeus species, after G. sauteri and G. schultzi, documented from the Philippines.

Parasites:
Lisnerova, M. & Martinek, I.N. & Alama-Bermejo, G. & Bouberlova, K. & Schaeffner, B.C. & Nkabi, N. & Holzer, A.S. & Bartosova-Sojkova, P. (2022) An ancient alliance: Matching evolutionary patterns of cartilaginous fishes (Elasmobranchii) and chloromyxid parasites (Myxozoa). Infection Genetics and Evolution, 103, Article 105346
New species: Chloromyxum africanum, Chloromyxum bulliti, Chloromyxum carcharhinid, Chloromyxum acuminatum, Chloromyxum ornamentum, Chloromyxum regularis
AbstractMyxozoa is a group of endoparasitic cnidarians covering almost 2600 species but merely 53 species, mostly from the genus Chloromyxum, have been reported from sharks, rays, and skates (Elasmobranchii). Elasmobranchs play a key role in the study of evolutionary trajectories of myxozoans as they represent ancestral vertebrate hosts. Our study provides new data on Chloromyxum spp. from 57 elasmobranchs, covering 20 species from geographical regions and host groups not previously investigated, such as Lamniformes and Hexanchiformes, the most basal phylogenetic shark lineage. In total, 28% of elasmobranchs were infected with Chloromyxum spp., indicating high diversity. Of the seven distinguished species, six are formally described based on morphological, morphometric, and genetic (18S rDNA) data. Comprehensive co-phylogenetic analyses and ancestral state reconstruction revealed that parasite and host phylogenies are clearly correlated, resulting in a distinct phylogenetic separation of chloromyxids from selachid (shark) vs. batoid (ray and skate) hosts. Species infecting the most ancient elasmobranchs formed a sublineage, branching off in the middle of the Chloromyxum sensu stricto clade. Our findings indicate that chloromyxids likely invaded an ancestral elasmobranch prior the time of divergence of shark and batoid lineages. Our analyses did not show a clear phylogeographic pattern of Chloromyxum parasites, probably due to the cosmopolitan distribution and migratory behaviour of many elasmobranch hosts, but geographical sampling must be extended to confirm or refute this observation. This study provides a complex view on species diversity, phylogeny, evolution, host-parasite co-phylogeny, and the phylogeographic origin of Chloromyxum species from elasmobranchs. Our results highlight the importance of adding missing data from previously un- or undersampled geographical regions and host species which results in a more accurate estimate of myxozoan biodiversity and a better understanding of the evolution of this parasite group in their hosts and in the different oceans of our planet.
 
 
Al-Sabi, M.N.S. & Ibrahim, M.M. & Al-Hizab, F. & Al-Jabr, O.A. & Al-Shubaythi, S. & Huffman, D.G. (2022) Huffmanela selachii n. sp. (Nematoda: Trichosomoididae: Huffmanelinae): A new species infecting the skin of the great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran) and the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) in the Arabian Gulf, off-shore Saudi Arabia. Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 29(12), Article 103430
New species: Huffmanela selachii
Abstract: From January 2017 -December 2019, 75 out of 850 (8.8 %) great hammerhead sharks from the Arabian Gulf had skin lesions of black irregular discolorations on the ventral surface of the head. The lesions con-sisted of pencil-like lineations often advancing forward by about 2 mm in back-and-forth looped scrib-bles often forming a relatively linear bands of about 5-7 cm wide. Similar lesions were also found in the blacktip reef shark from the same area within the same period, and consisted of straight to irregular black lines, extended indiscriminately across the skin of the sharks. Microscopic examination of the skin revealed the presence of dark-brown eggs exhibiting the spindle or ellipsoidal eggs characteristic of Huffmanela sp. The morphometrics of eggs from both hosts were similar (62.9-89.9 lm long and 29.3- 56.1 lm wide). The eggshells were smooth with polar plugs protruding or not, with an abruptly truncated crown-like or shoulder-like collar surrounding the plug. The eggs were only found in the epidermal layer of the skin. Based on the unique morphometrics of the eggs, we report a new species, named: Huffmanela selachii n. sp.. This appears to be the first report of Huffmanela from either the great hammerhead shark or the blacktip reef shark, and the third reported Huffmanela in sharks from the Arabian Gulf. It is also one of few species reported from connecting waters of the greater Indian Ocean. This new finding contributes to our understanding of the diversity and ubiquity of Huffmanela sp. in marine creatures.
 
Oosthuizen, G. & Naidoo, K. & Smit, N.J. & Schaeffner, B.C. (2022) Adding one more to the list: A new species of Eniochobothrium (Cestoda: Lecanicephalidea) from the Oman cownose ray in South Africa. International Journal for Parasitology-Parasites and Wildlife, 19, 138–147
New species: Eniochobothrium acostae
Abstract: A new species of Eniochobothrium Shipley and Hornell, 1906 was recovered from the Oman cownose ray (Rhinoptera jayakari Boulenger) from the body of water off the south-eastern coastline of the KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. Eniochobothrium acostae n. sp. is described on morphological and molecular grounds. The new species is placed within Eniochobothrium (viz., Eniochobothrium gracile Shipley and Hornell, 1906, Eniochobothrium qatarense Al Kawari, Saoud and Wanas, 1994, Eniochobothrium euaxos Jensen, 2005) by possessing key generic characteristics such as the absence of a vagina, expansion of the anterior region of the strobila forming a trough and presence of a thick-walled cirrus sac. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the partial 28S rRNA and mtCOI genes confirm the generic characterisation as the newly proposed species groups together with other members of the genus. Eniochobothrium acostae n. sp. currently represents the largest described species of the genus; it possesses slightly fewer testes compared to most congeners, given that this feature has been provided in the original description (e.g., E. euaxos and E. qatarense). The new species of Eniochobothrium is the fourth valid species described to date and the first species record from South African waters.
