Shark reference custom search tool and maintenance Update! TAs of today we received 17 donations totalling €765 for our custom search tool project. Our sincere thanks to all donors!!! We will now start the work, in a first step we will search for a qualified programmer. We will keep you informed about the progress of the project via our newsletter and on facebook. Fins up, Jürgen & Nico
Some changes in the web-page organisation: We added a new ‚TOOLS‘ menu item- all available tools will be available here from now, for example a guide how to download species specific literature lists. Please check it out!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reorganisation of the species lists! update - - - finished! Several extant taxa are also documented in the fossil record. We are in the process of creating species lists of extant taxa, which include such records. Extant taxa occurring in the fossil record are now marked with the suffix "-f" (e.g., Dalatias sp. -> Dalatias sp-f, Dalatias licha -> Dalatias licha-f) to indicate that the reference refers to a fossil record. The fossil records of the extant taxa are listed in the "Extinct - All" and "Extinct - Valid" lists. A complete list of taxa that have been marked with ‚-f’ can be found here. Example list "Extinct - valid species"  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 27099 (last month: 26955) references are changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New paper co-authord by team shark-references!

Species-level phylogeny (‘Maximum Clade Credibility’ or MCC tree hypothesis) depicting ancestral genome size reconstruction under the best-fitting maximum-likelihood ‘Early-Bust’ (EB) model, with details on geological timescale. Tips are colour-coded, as stated in the inset (bottom-left), by the average genome size of each species (represented in the barplot, right). Internal node colours are based on the most likely ancestral genome size estimates inferred by the model (values reported to two decimal places at nodes). Species names at tips are colour-coded according to the taxonomic order to which they belong, following Fig. 1b colour scheme, with outgroup species in black (left inset). The ancestral genome size state for all extant sharks was estimated at 6.33 pg, and for all extant Chondrichthyes at 3.55 pg. Within Selachii, genome size is differently evolving across higher-level taxa: while galeomorph sharks show a general trend in genome size diminution (with the exception of Heterodontiformes and Scyliorhinidae), most squalomorph sharks (especially Squatiniformes and Squaliformes) exhibit steady genome size increases.

NEW PARTNERS OF SHARK-REFERENCES
Shark Trust and Lamna’s new project, Tiburones y Rayas is hosting its first event this June – a Wikimarathon for Sharks and Rays – in Spanish! The event will be held on Saturday the 29th June. Although this is the main day, editing will take place in the weeks before and after the event. It will be a series of days of coordinated work together with the Wikimedia Foundation during which we will improve and expand the information on Wikipedia about elasmobranchs in Spanish. We have 9 countries involved to date. With this global effort we are hoping to create a media impact which will attract more collaborators and therefore generate the first steps towards a support network for Spanish-speaking shark and ray researchers, conservationists, communicators and advocates.
If you would like to take part in the WikiMarathon or would just like to find out more about the project, please visit the main website and fill out the form to get involved. And please do remember to share with all your Spanish-speaking colleagues!

20. Tagung der Gesellschaft für Ichthyologie (GfI) e.V. vom 7. bis 10. November 2024 an der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin

Symposium Overview:
Public aquariums showcase aquatic life while raising awareness and educating the public on biodiversity and the need for conservation. Recently, aquaria have followed in the footsteps of zoos by taking more directed approaches in species conservation as well as leveraging animals in their collections to fill biological knowledge gaps through research. Aquaria possess some unique qualities that can be applied to elasmobranch research and conservation efforts. In addition to the increasing number of institutions that now support dedicated research departments or staff, aquaria have considerable public audiences (both physical and virtual), ambassador animals to foster deeper connections and empathy for species, dedicated education departments typically focused from the preschool to high school level, comprehensive communication departments with media connections, and extensive animal care and specialized veterinarian teams. Through these expertise aquaria are able to house animals that are often not feasible to care for in traditional academic settings, and for long durations often throughout entire life cycles, allowing important life history information to be investigated.
There has been a longstanding involvement of aquarium professionals in the American Elasmobranch Society, best highlighted by the career and research accomplishments of the late Alan Henningsen. However, the number of AES members who represent aquaria has dwindled over the past few decades. We hope that this symposium will highlight these past connections, including Alan’s legacy, encouraging more aquaria personnel who attend to sustain their memberships and take more active roles moving forward to engage with other members of AES from different sectors (e.g. academia, nonprofits, etc). Equally, we anticipate that this will further highlight and promote collaborative opportunities between aquaria and AES members to the broader benefit of the elasmobranch research field in general.

IMPORTANT DATES
This year’s annual EEA conference will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 22nd to 24th of October, by the Environmental Organisation iSea, with the aim to bring together the scientific community and other stakeholders working with sharks, rays and chimaeras around Europe and the Mediterranean.
The EEA 2024 Conference topic is “Stronger collaboration for better conservation” focusing to bring together not only an increased number of experienced scientists and other stakeholders from different fields of shark and ray research and conservation, but also give an advanced role to younger researchers that will have the opportunity to better meet the EEA community and the most recent results of their work. This year’s aim is also focused on increasing the participation and the scientific input from data-poor areas and countries that are not highly represented within the EEA community and thus researchers from the Balkans, Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East will be invited and encouraged to participate.
EEA 2024 and its overall content; panels, workshops and keynote speakers, were built on the common values of diversity, equity and community, that EEA members share.
We look forward to hosting you during the 3-day conference for which the agenda and events aim to scale up elasmobranch conservation through the establishment of stronger collaborations!

A new family and species of deep sea catshark!
https://shark-references.com/species/view/Dichichthys-satoi
The genus Dichichthys was resurrected for five species previously allocated to the genus Parmaturus in the family Pentanchidae. Supraorbital crests on the chondrocranium distinguish Dichichthys from Parmaturus and other members of the family Pentanchidae. A new family, Dichichthyidae, has been proposed to contain Dichichthys. The sequence of the NADH2 mitochondrial gene confirms the placement of Dichichthys outside of the Pentanchidae family, as well as separate from the Atelomycteridae and Scyliorhinidae families. Dichichthys albimarginatus was described using a holotype collected off the coast of New Caledonia. A second juvenile specimen collected off the coast of Papua New Guinea was tentatively assigned as D. cf. albimarginatus. Dichichthys bigus is known from the holotype collected in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland, Australia. A new, parasite-afflicted underwater observation was reported further north of Queensland. The type species Dichichthys melanobranchus, previously only known from juvenile specimens, was redescribed based on adult specimens. Dichichthys nigripalatum is known from the holotype collected off Sumbawa, Indonesia, and a tentatively identified photo record from West Java. Dichichthys satoi n. sp. is described from the West Norfolk Ridge and off the North Island of New Zealand. Members of the genus Dichichthys have unique curved egg cases which have pliable ridges made up of numerous fibres and long coiled tendrils on the posterior end.

Nr. 3 (42 Likes/Emojis, 9 Shares):
During efforts to disentangle Cape fur seals Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus from fishing gear or plastic debris, 11 incidents of seals impaled by the dorsal spines of St Josephs Callorhinchus capensis (order Chimaeriformes) were recorded. These observations overlapped with mass die-offs of the seals owing to food shortages, as indicated by large numbers of emaciated seals and widespread miscarriages of seal foetuses. This suggests that the St Joseph is not a desirable prey species for Cape fur seals, though this chimaera may provide a source of food, especially when preferred prey species are unavailable. This is the first published record of Cape fur seals feeding on chondrichthyans in Namibian waters. Documenting these types of food-web linkages between pinnipeds and chondrichthyans will allow for a better understanding of how impacts on their populations may more broadly affect Namibia’s marine ecosystems.

Extinct Chondrichthyes:
Breeden, B.T. & Oyama, N. & Manabe, M. & Takahashi, H. & Sakata, C. (2024): A new freshwater lonchidiid hybodontiform shark (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) from the Upper Triassic Momonoki Formation in Yamaguchi, Japan. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 43(5), Article e2322749
New species: Parvodus ominechonensis
Abstract: We describe an assemblage of isolated hybodontiform shark teeth from the nonmarine Upper Triassic (Carnian) Momonoki Formation in the town of Ominecho in Mine, Yamaguchi, Japan. These teeth were first reported in 1996 and tentatively referred to the genus Hybodus, but their taxonomy was not rigorously evaluated in an apomorphy-based context, and they have since been mostly overlooked. Herein, we assign them to a new species, Parvodus ominechonensis, based on a combination of synapomorphies of the lonchidiid genus Parvodus and autapomorphic character states. A diversity of Triassic hybodontiforms is known from Japan, but of these, Parvodus ominechonensis sp. nov. is the only taxon known from nonmarine deposits and the first reported occurrence of Lonchidiidae. Parvodus ominechonensis fills a gap in the stratigraphic record of Parvodus between occurrences in Middle Triassic (Anisian) and Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) strata. The global Triassic record of Parvodus comprises Parvodus huizodus from the Olenekian of China, Parvodus sp. from the Anisian of China, and Parvodus ominechonensis from the Carnian of Japan, of which Parvodus ominechonensis and Parvodus huizodus are known from nonmarine deposits. After the Triassic, Parvodus is known from marine and nonmarine strata across Laurasia and in South America until its extinction during the Early Cretaceous. This suggests that Parvodus may have originated in freshwater habitats in the South China region of Pangea following the end-Permian mass extinction and diversified throughout the Triassic in present day East Asia before attaining a global distribution later in the Mesozoic.
Cicimurri, D. & Ciampaglio, C. & Hoenig, M. & Shell, R. & Fuelling, L. & Peterman, D. & Cline, D.A. & Jacquemin, S.A. (2024): A Description of the New Hybodont Shark Genus, Columnaodus, from the Burlington and Keokuk Limestones (Carboniferous, Mississippian, Osagean) of Illinois and Iowa, USA. Diversity, 16(5), Article 276
New genus: Columnaodus
New species: Columnaodus witzkei
Abstract: Bonebeds occurring in exposures of the Burlington and Keokuk Limestones (Mississippian/Osagean) along the Iowa and Illinois border (USA) contain an abundant and diverse collection of chondrichthyan remains that includes teeth, spines, denticles, and coprolites. These remains represent cochliodont, hybodont, petalodont, ctenacanthid, symmoriid, and acanthodian (stem chondrichthyan) taxa. The thickest of these beds, herein referred to as the Burlington–Keokuk bonebed, occurs at the top of the Burlington Limestone and presents a remarkable opportunity to study the assemblage of mid-continent, Middle Mississippian chondrichthyans. Bulk matrix samples of this bonebed were collected from two quarries (Biggsville Quarry, Biggsville, IL, USA, and Nelson Quarry, Mediapolis, IA, USA) and disaggregated. Among the multitude of previously known taxa, several teeth represented a new genus and species of hybodont shark. Herein, we describe these teeth as Columnaodus witzkei (gen. et sp. nov.), a hybodontiform with dental features comparable to unnamed specimens reported from elsewhere.
Parasites:
Youssef, F. & Benmansour, B. & Yurakhno, V.M. & Mansour, L. (2024): New marine leech species of Branchellion Savigny, 1822 (Hirudinida: Piscicolidae) and new host record of Pontobdella muricata in the Gulf of Tunis. Biologia, in press
New species: Branchellion tunisensis
Abstract: Studies of Hirudinea species infesting elasmobranchs are scarce and scattered worldwide and they are inexistent off the Tunisian waters. In this work, we aimed to assess the occurrence of these parasites on two ray species in the Gulf of Tunis (Tunisia). Between 2017 and 2021, 254 fish specimens belonging to two Torpedinidae species (marbled electric ray, Torpedo marmorata Risso, 1810, and common torpedo, Torpedo torpedo (Linnaeus, 1758)) were examined for leech infestation. Morphological and molecular characterizations based on 18S rDNA and cytochrome c oxidase (COI) sequences allowed us to identify two leech species: Pontobdella muricata (Linnaeus, 1758) and a new Branchellion Savigny, 1822 species Branchellion tunisensis sp. n. This new species (B. tunisensis) exhibited distinctive traits unlike other Branchellion, including a transparent body marred with dark green along the abdomen and neck, long trachelosome (about 1/3 of the length of the body), distinctive two eye spots, the presence of a pair of lateral branchiae per somite except for the last 2 somites and cup-shaped posterior sucker. Molecular analysis of the 18S rDNA and COI gene fragments shows more than 10% divergence of B. tunisensis from other Branchellion spp. and high identity score of P. muricata with other sequenced isolates. This work allowed us to report the presence of P. muricata for the first time off the Tunisian coasts and to identify a new marine leech species parasitizing electric rays in the Gulf of Tunis.
Dallarés, S. & Kuchta, R. (2024): New species of Echinobothrium van Beneden, 1849 (Cestoda: Diphyllidea) from Indo-Pacific maskrays (Neotrygon Castelnau) off Australia and Borneo. Folia Parasitologica, 71, Article 3
New species: Echinobothrium giraffaeous, Echinobothrium bethae, Echinobothrium ivanovae, Echinobothrium tyleri
Abstract: Four new diphyllidean species of the genus Echinobothrium van Beneden, 1849 are described from Indo-Pacific maskrays (Neotrygon Castelnau, Dasyatidae). Echinobothrium giraffaeous sp. n. from Neotrygon leylandi (Last) off northern Australia, Echinobothrium ivanovae sp. n. from Neotrygon orientalis Last, White et Serét off Borneo, and Echinobothrium bethae sp. n. from Neotrygon varidens (Garman) off Borneo are distinguished from all but one of the 33 valid species of the genus by the possession of the outermost A hooks with an extended base into which the bases of the three outermost B hooks are inserted. Echinobothrium rhynchobati (Khalil et Abdul-Salam, 1989) is the only known species with this unique feature, but its rostellum has a system of interlocking knobs and sockets that articulate bases of the A and B type hooks with one another, which is not present in any of the newly described species. Echinobothrium tyleri sp. n. from Neotrygon australiae Last, White et Serét off northern Australia is distinguished from all known species of Echinobothrium by its unique rostellar hook formula {2-3 18/17 2-3}. With the present addition of four new species, the central Indo-Pacific realm becomes the major hotspot for Echinobothrium, from which 13 species have been reported.
Bueno, V.M. & Trevisan, B. & Caira, J.N. (2024): Phylogeny of the cestode family Escherbothriidae (Cestoda: Rhinebothriidea) reveals unexpected patterns of association with skate hosts. Invertebrate Systematics, 38(4), Article Is23056
New species: Semiorbiseptum beitae, Semiorbiseptum marquesi, Escherbothrium cielochae
Abstract: The rhinebothriidean tapeworm family Escherbothriidae has recently been expanded to include the genus Ivanovcestus, species of which parasitise arhynchobatid skates. Similarities in morphology and host associations between Ivanovcestus and Semiorbiseptum – a genus yet to be assigned to one of the families in the order Rhinebothriidea – led us to explore the possibility that Semiorbiseptum might also belong in the Escherbothriidae. Morphological similarities with Scalithrium ivanovae, Scalithrium kirchneri and Rhinebothrium scobinae, all of which also parasitise arhynchobatid skates, raised questions regarding the generic placements of these species. In addition, new collections from the skate Sympterygia brevicaudata revealed two new species that morphologically resemble species of Ivanovcestus. A combination of morphological and molecular data were used to assess the generic placement of the newly discovered species and refine our understanding of the membership of the family Escherbothriidae. Sequence data for the D1–D3 region of the 28S rDNA gene were generated de novo for 14 specimens of 7 rhinebothriidean species and combined with comparable published data to represent all 6 families in the Rhinebothriidea in the analysis. The phylogenetic tree resulting from maximum likelihood analysis strongly supports the inclusion of the genus Semiorbiseptum in the family Escherbothriidae. Our work also suggests that the skate-hosted species previously assigned to Scalithrium and Rhinebothrium are also members of Semiorbiseptum and that Ivanovcestus is a junior synonym of Semiorbiseptum. Six species are transferred to Semiorbiseptum, bringing the total number of species in the genus to ten. The diagnosis of Semiorbiseptum is amended to accommodate the additional species. A second species in the previously monotypic type genus of the family, Escherbothrium, is described. The diagnosis of the Escherbothriidae is amended to include the new and transferred species. This study underscores the importance of integrating morphological and molecular data in bringing resolution to cestode systematics. We believe our findings provide a robust foundation for future research into the evolutionary history and host associations of cestodes within the order Rhinebothriidea and beyond. These also highlight the importance of expanding our understanding of skate-hosted cestodes.
