Growing out of the fins: implications of isometric and allometric scaling of morphology relative to increasing mass in blue sharks ( Prionace glauca )
Preprint
Full-text available
  • Dec 2023
Disproportional changes (i.e. allometry) in shark morphology have been attributed to shifts in function associated with niche shifts in life history, such as in habitat and diet. Photographs of blue sharks ( Prionace glauca , 26-145 kg) were used to analyze changes in parameters of body and fin morphology with increasing mass that are fundamental t...

  • Feb 2019
We explored how the flattened and rounded pectoral disc of the ocellate river stingray (Potamotrygon motoro (Müller and Henle, 1841)) enables them to use the benthic plane during fast-start escape. Escape responses were elicited via prodding different locations around the pectoral disc and were recorded using video. Modulation of pectoral-fin movem...
