download poster and additional material

In this study we conduct literature research of medieval zoological and specifically ichthyological literature which may be the source of motivation for specific ways of mounting dried shark specimens located in several towns in Southern Germany and Austria. German naturalist Conrad Gessner was the first around 1550 ad who described all at that time known plant and animal life in books comprising compendia on animals in general, birds and fish translated from Latin to German. The German compendia were widely distributed and frequently used. At the same time, first natural cabinets were established, comparable to first zoological museum collections. In our study, we identify the shark species based on tooth and general body morphology in all mounted specimens available (N=6) as Lamna nasus (Porbeagle shark) and conclude that a drawing of a shark in Conrad Gessner’s compendium ‘Fischbuch’ (fish book), published in 1575, may be the motivation of the distinct mounting of the specimens. This would set a maximum age range of origin of the specimens to approximately 450 years. As future perspective we plan to make use of stable isotope analysis to review our hypothesis.

Höltke, O. & Maxwell, E.E. & Pollerspöck, J. & Rasser, M.W.  (2022): The shark and ray teeth of the Lower Miocene (Upper Marine Molasse) from Äpfingen, Baden-Württemberg, Southern Germany.  Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie, Abhandlungen, 305(3), 323–342


The deposit is located in the Baltringen Formation (Middle Ottnangian, lower Miocene). In total, 27 genera could be identified (sharks: Alopias, Araloselachus, Carcharhinus, Carcharias, Carcharoides, Carcharodon, Centrophorus, Chaenogaleus, Galeocerdo, Hemipristis, Isistius, Mitsukurina, Nanocetorhinus, Notorynchus, Pachyscyllium, Pristiophorus, Pseudocarcharias, Rhizoprionodon, Scyliorhinus, Sphyrna, Squalus, Squatina; rays: Dasyatis, Raja, Rhinoptera, Rhynchobatos, Taeniurops). However, only taxa which were not already discussed in the previous publications are illustrated and described in this paper (14 taxa). Apart from Araloselachus, Carcharoides, Pachyscyllium and Nanocetorhinus, all have Recent relatives. The majority of the sharks and rays lived in the neritic realm, or this was part of their habitat. Only three genera (Isistius, Mitsukurina, Pseudocarcharias) have an oceanic lifestyle. For Nanocetorhinus, the habitat requirements are unknown. Galeocerdo and Notorynchus are omnivorous feeders, and Carcharodon feeds on fishes and also on marine mammals. All the others are/were invertebrate and/or fish feeders. With Nanocetorhinus sp., a rare taxon in the Molasse is verified as present. Large teeth over c. 2.5 cm in height are missing from the collection, but a comparatively large amount of (incomplete) squaliform teeth were found. The overall composition of the shark and ray fauna, together with the other fossils (bony fish and invertebrates) indicate a warm-temperate habitat in the neritic realm.

Lourtie, A. & Duchatelet, L. & Straube, N. & Puozzo, N. & Grace, M. & Naylor, G.J.P. & Delroisse, J.  (2022): Placoid scales in bioluminescent sharks: Scaling their evolution using morphology and elemental composition. Frontiers in Marine Science, 9, Article 908237
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2022.908237/full

Elasmobranchs are characterised by the presence of placoid scales on their skin. These scales, structurally homologous to gnathostome teeth, are thought to have various ecological functions related to drag reduction, predator defense or abrasion reduction. Some scales, particularly those present in the ventral area, are also thought to be functionally involved in the transmission of bioluminescent light in deep-sea environments. In the deep parts of the oceans, elasmobranchs are mainly represented by squaliform sharks. This study compares ventral placoid scale morphology and elemental composition of more than thirty deep-sea squaliform species. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometry, associated with morphometric and elemental composition measurements were used to characterise differences among species. A maximum likelihood molecular phylogeny was computed for 43 shark species incuding all known families of Squaliformes. Character mapping was based on this phylogeny to estimate ancestral character states among the squaliform lineages. Our results highlight a conserved and stereotypical elemental composition of the external layer among the examined species. Phosphorus-calcium proportion ratios (Ca/P) slightly vary from 1.8-1.9, and fluorine is typically found in the placoid scale. By contrast, there is striking variation in shape in ventral placoid scales among the investigated families. Character-mapping reconstructions indicated that the shield-shaped placoid scale morphotype is likely to be ancestral among squaliform taxa. The skin surface occupied by scales appears to be reduced in luminous clades which reflects a relationship between scale coverage and the ability to emit light. In luminous species, the placoid scale morphotypes are restricted to pavement, bristle- and spine-shaped except for the only luminescent somniosid, Zameus squamulosus, and the dalatiid Mollisquama mississippiensis. These results, deriving from an unprecedented sampling, show extensive morphological diversity in placoid scale shape but little variation in elemental composition among Squaliformes.

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 24951 (last month: 24847) references are changed.

Scientific Data, 9(1), Article 559
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-022-01655-1

Abstract
A curated database of shark and ray biological data is increasingly necessary both to support fisheries management and conservation efforts, and to test the generality of hypotheses of vertebrate macroecology and macroevolution. Sharks and rays are one of the most charismatic, evolutionary distinct, and threatened lineages of vertebrates, comprising around 1,250 species. To accelerate shark and ray conservation and science, we developed Sharkipedia as a curated open-source database and research initiative to make all published biological traits and population trends accessible to everyone. Sharkipedia hosts information on 58 life history traits from 274 sources, for 170 species, from 39 families, and 12 orders related to length (n = 9 traits), age (8), growth (12), reproduction (19), demography (5), and allometric relationships (5), as well as 871 population time-series from 202 species. Sharkipedia relies on the backbone taxonomy of the IUCN Red List and the bibliography of Shark-References. Sharkipedia has profound potential to support the rapidly growing data demands of fisheries management, international trade regulation as well as anchoring vertebrate macroecology and macroevolution.

https://zenodo.org/record/7108880/#.YzB0fXZByM8

Abstract
A new species of softnose skate, Bathyraja chapmani n. sp., is described from two female specimens collected in deepwater off Lima, Peru (-11.933°, -78.15°), in the southeastern Pacific, at 1714 m deep, in a fishery for Patagonian toothfish. The new species is separated from other southeastern Pacific Bathyraja species by having the same color and same irregular spotted pattern on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces, as well as the form and arrangement of thorns and denticles and several meristic characters. Bathyraja chapmani n. sp. has a uniform black-to-chocolate or dark-plum-brown background coloration with an irregular pattern of whitish to dark-colored scattered spots. Its closest congener, Bathyraja aguja, also from Peru, has two symmetrically arranged, large, white spots on the dorsal surface at the pectoral-fin bases, symmetrically arranged white spots along the disc margins, and a ventral surface lacking any spots or patterning. The new species is the fourth Bathyraja species known to occur in Peruvian waters.

New genus: Caliraja
Abstract: A new genus of skate (Caliraja gen. nov.) is described based on egg case morphology and the number of embryos per egg case. Caliraja gen. nov. egg cases differ from those of the genus Beringraja by a combination of following characteristics: egg cases relatively small in size, lacking ridges, fine striations on the capsule surface, and moderately long horns about the size of the capsule compared to the much larger Beringraja egg cases that possess distinctly prominent ridges, no striations, and short or obscure horns. The most significant difference is the new genus has a single embryo per egg case, while Beringraja have 1-9 embryos per egg case, averaging 3-5 per egg case. Evolutionarily the egg case morphology of Beringraja is more primitive than the new genus Caliraja gen. nov.

New species: Dalatias orientalis
Abstract: For the first time, a comprehensive study of the fauna of fossil elasmobranchs from the Miocene Duho Formation of the Pohang Basin (South Korea) is provided. A new species of kitefin shark, Dalatias orientalis, is described. The association consists of 14 species, most of which are recorded in South Korea for the first time: Hexanchus griseus, Dalatias orientalis sp. nov., Mitsukurina owstoni, Otodus megalodon, Parotodus benedenii, Carcharodon hastalis, ‘Isurus’ planus, Isurus sp. 1, Isurus sp. 2, Cetorhinus huddlestoni, Carcharhinus aff. C. plumbeus, Carcharhinus aff. C. amblyrhynchos, Carcharhinus aff. C. altimus and Galeocerdo aduncus. The fauna combines taxa with different ecological and bathymetric characteristics. It is dominated by pelagic sharks with a high migratory capacity as well as by deep-sea species and inhabitants of the insular and continental shelves. The ecological and bathymetric features of the assemblage thus indicate a deep-water paleoenvironment. The recent goblin shark Mitsukurina owstoni is recorded for the first time from the Miocene epoch.

New species: Dallasiella brachyodon
Abstract: Examination of isolated shark teeth from the uppermost lower Campanian Gonioteuthis quadrata scaniensis Zone of southern Sweden revealed the presence of a rare, previously undescribed lamniform shark. The unusually small-sized anterior teeth, variable presence of a short and shallow median groove, cusplet shape and outline of posterior teeth indicate a dallasiellid affinity and the species is formally described as Dallasiella brachyodon sp. nov. It is the youngest record of dallasiellids and adds to the extraordinarily high diversity of lamniform sharks in the uppermost lower Campanian of the Kristianstad Basin. Over its 18 Ma range, Dallasiella appears to have increased in body size and developed teeth with relatively broader cusps, indicating enhanced capabilities for tackling larger prey.

New species: Carcharhinus dicelmai
Abstract: Nowadays, the requiem sharks comprise one of the most diverse and widespread families of selachians, i.e., Carcharhinidae. Among the carcharhinids, the genus Carcharhinus has the largest number of living species, namely, at least 35. Known from fossils as old as the Cretaceous, the requiem sharks did not significantly radiate before the Eocene (when Carcharhinus also appeared), and their diversification mainly occurred in Neogene times. Here, we describe a new species of requiem shark, Carcharhinus dicelmai sp. nov., based on fossil teeth from Lower Miocene (18.4–18.1 Ma) strata of the Chilcatay Formation of the East Pisco Basin (southern Peru). Upper teeth of C. dicelmai sp. nov. are typically provided with a slender, smooth-edged cusp; a marked coronal twist; and a distal heel that bears 1–5 coarse, angularly lobate serrae that become more prominent toward the base of the cusp. The dentition of C. dicelmai sp. nov. appears less akin to that of most other carcharhines to the cutting-clutching type, and seemingly testifies to the development of more predominantly clutching adaptations. A carcharhinid tooth from the Burdigalian to lower Langhian Cantaure Formation of Venezuela is reassigned to C. dicelmai sp. nov., suggesting a trans-Panamanian distribution for this extinct shark species.

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.

New species: Nemesis santhadevii
Abstract: The copepod Nemesissanthadevii sp. nov. (Siphonostomatoida: Eudactylinidae), which is parasitizing the gill filaments of the Coral catshark Atelomycterus marmoratus (Anonymous (Bennett), 1830) off Kota Kinabalu waters, Malaysia, is described and illustrated in this article. The new species Nemesis santhadevii prominently differs from its congeners in the following features: (1) the cephalothorax sub-circular is 1.3 times as wide as long and overlapping the second pedigerous somite; (2) the fifth somite is 0.4 times the width of the fourth; (3) the genital double somite is slightly narrower than the fifth; (4) the lowest cephalothoracic shield’s body length (0.20:1) proportion; (5) the caudal rami is ovate, it has two large and three small setae; (6) and the second somite has antenna with a patch of 34–38 spinules. It is the first record of parasitic eudactilinid copepod from Sabah, East Malaysia. A checklist of global valid species of Nemesis Risso, 1826, is provided.
