Insights into ontogenetic scaling and morphological variation in sharks from near-term brown smooth-hound (Mustelus henlei) embryos

This study examines ontogenetic scaling in near-term brown smooth-hound shark embryos, finding isometric growth and morphological disparity, supporting the allometric niche shift hypothesis.

Growing out of the fins: implications of isometric and allometric scaling of morphology relative to increasing mass in blue sharks (Prionace glauca)

This study examines allometric and isometric scaling of morphology in blue sharks with increasing mass, finding that some traits scale positively while others scale negatively, suggesting functional adaptations related to size and ecological pressures.

The ocellate river stingray (Potamotrygon motoro) exploits vortices of sediment to bury into the substrate

This study describes how the ocellate river stingray uses body and fin movements to create and control sediment vortices for effective burial.
