Journal ArticleDOI
Electroreception in juvenile scalloped hammerhead and sandbar sharks
TL;DR: Although the sphyrnid head morphology does not appear to confer a greater sensitivity to prey-simulating dipole electric fields, it does provide a greater lateral search area, which may increase the probability of prey encounter, and enhanced maneuverability, which might aid in prey capture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal dynamics of dental sexual dimorphism in the atlantic stingray dasyatis sabina
TL;DR: Radial vector analysis of tooth shape in the polyphyodontic stingray Dasyatis sabina shows a stable molariform morphology for females but a periodic shift in male dentition from a female-like molarsiform to a recurved cuspidate form during the reproductive season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dermal bite wounds as indicators of reproductive seasonality and behaviour in the Atlantic stingray, Dasyatis sabina
TL;DR: It is suggested that the pronounced and concurrent appearance of single track, double track and bite wounds among males results from random premating courtship attacks by males because females cannot be visually discriminated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Head morphology and electrosensory pore distribution of carcharhinid and sphyrnid sharks
TL;DR: The greater number of ampullae, the higher pore density and the larger sampling area of the head combine to provide hammerhead sharks with a morphologically enhanced electroreceptive capability compared to comparably sized carcharhinids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Olfactory morphology and physiology of elasmobranchs
TL;DR: Results indicate parallels in olfactory physiology between elasmobranchs and teleost fishes, similar to that previously described in teleosts with neutral amino acids eliciting significantly greater responses than others.
