  • cardiovascular actions of dogfish urotensin i in the dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula
    1998
    Co-Authors: Björn Platzack, Neil Hazon, Courtney Schaffert, Michael J Conlon
    Abstract:

    Abstract A synthetic replicate of dogfish urotensin I (U-I), a 41-amino-acid residue peptide isolated from an extract of the caudal spinal cord region of the European spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula was prepared in order to study its cardiovascular actions in the species of origin. Bolus intraarterial injections of dogfish U-I (0.3–30 nmol/kg body wt) into the celiac artery of unanesthetized dogfish produced a transient fall in arterial blood pressure ( P P P

  • sexually dimorphic body proportions in the catshark genus Scyliorhinus chondrichthyes carcharhiniformes scyliorhinidae
    2019
    Co-Authors: Karla D A Soares
    Abstract:

    Intersexual differences in morphometrics were investigated in five species of the catshark genus Scyliorhinus. ANCOVA was used to test 59 measurements, considering capture location and total length as covariates. In all examined species, pelvic-anal distances and pelvic-fin inner margin lengths were greater in males than in females, representing a clear pattern for the genus.

  • the catshark genus Scyliorhinus chondrichthyes carcharhiniformes scyliorhinidae taxonomy morphology and distribution
    2019
    Co-Authors: Karla D A Soares, Marcelo R De Carvalho
    Abstract:

    The catshark genus Scyliorhinus belongs to the family Scyliorhinidae, the most diverse family of sharks, and currently presents 16 valid species according to most modern accounts. The long history of taxonomic rearrangements and inaccurate descriptions of many species have contributed to misidentification of specimens and lack of information on the distributional range and diagnostic characters of its species. Species of Scyliorhinus are reviewed and redescribed here, with detailed descriptions on external morphology, neurocranium, claspers, dermal denticles, and tooth morphology provided for the first time for all species. Sixteen species are recognized as valid: Scyliorhinus boa (Goode Bean, 1896), S. cabofriensis Soares, Gomes de Carvalho, 2016, S. canicula (Linnaeus, 1758), S. capensis (Muller Henle, 1838), S. cervigoni Maurin Bonnet, 1970, S. comoroensis Compagno, 1988, S. duhamelii (Garman, 1913), S. garmani (Fowler, 1934), S. haeckelii (Miranda Ribeiro, 1907), S. hesperius Springer, 1966, S. meadi Springer, 1966, S. retifer (Garman, 1881), S. stellaris (Linnaeus, 1758), S. torazame (Tanaka, 1908), S. torrei Howell-Rivero, 1936, and S. ugoi Soares, Gomes Gadig, 2015. The main taxonomic decisions herein taken include the resurrection of S. duhamelii (previously a junior synonym of S. canicula) and the synonimization of S. tokubee with S. torazame. Information on geographic distribution was updated for most species, especially for those with wide ranges (S. canicula, S. haeckelii, S. retifer, and S. stellaris).

  • taxonomic review of catsharks of the Scyliorhinus haeckelii group with the description of a new species chondrichthyes carcharhiniformes scyliorhinidae
    2016
    Co-Authors: Karla D A Soares, Ulisses L Gomes, Marcelo R De Carvalho
    Abstract:

    Sharks of the genus Scyliorhinus from the southwestern Atlantic are reviewed; identification problems and taxonomic misinformation given in the literature are rectified. After extensive examination of the external and internal morphology of specimens collected mostly off southeastern and southern Brazil, Scyliorhinus besnardi Springer & Sadowsky, 1970 is placed in the synonymy of S. haeckelii (Miranda Ribeiro, 1907), which is thoroughly redescribed. Additionally, a new species, Scyliorhinus cabofriensis , sp. nov., is described from the state of Rio de Janeiro, distinguished from all southwestern Atlantic congeners by its color pattern, clasper and neurocranial morphology, and proportional measurements. A key to Scyliorhinus species occurring in the southwestern Atlantic is also provided.

  • Scyliorhinus ugoi a new species of catshark from brazil chondrichthyes carcharhiniformes scyliorhinidae
    2015
    Co-Authors: Karla D A Soares, Otto F B Gadig, Ulisses L Gomes
    Abstract:

    A new species of catshark (Carcharhiniformes, Scyliorhinidae), Scyliorhinus ugoi sp. nov., is described from off Northeastern and Southeastern Brazil. The new species is closest to the Scyliorhinus haeckelii/besnardi group and S. hesperius but differs in background coloration, head width, sexual maturity, and in cranial and body proportions.
