New Observations on the Behavior, Ecology, and Biology of Sharks and Rays
Sharks and rays are a group of ancient, ecologically important, and highly threatened fishes. Their large size, high mobility, and diversity allow for the assessment of the structure and function of large expanses of the ocean while making them a unique model for assessing how species respond to human-induced changes such as climate change. Despite the notion that many aspects of their biology and ecology remain poorly understood, access to this information has never been greater due to the rapid development of emerging technologies and approaches to study sharks and rays in virtually all areas of the ocean – from shallow reefs to deep trenches. As the global research effort on sharks and rays continues to expand annually, we are also increasing the likelihood of making novel behavioral, physiological, or molecular discoveries – as is the potential to expand or refine known correlates of their biology or ecology. These exciting observations shed light on future research efforts and aid in adaptive management and conservation.

Biology of Sharks and Their Relatives
Biology of Sharks and Their Relatives is an award-winning and groundbreaking exploration of the fundamental elements of the taxonomy, systematics, physiology, and ecology of sharks, skates, rays, and chimera. This edition presents current research as well as traditional models, to provide future researchers with solid historical foundations in shark research as well as presenting current trends from which to develop new frontiers in their own work. Traditional areas of study such as age and growth, reproduction, taxonomy and systematics, sensory biology, and ecology are updated with contemporary research that incorporates emerging techniques including molecular genetics, exploratory techniqu...
Contagion and the Responsibility of Networks
‘Contagion’ is a crucial term in the theory of networks, that is nowadays employed to study increasingly diverse issues such as financial crises, epidemics, and fake news. It provides a unifying framework to describe various social and economic phenomena that occur within different networks — involving various forms of contagion. This book discusses contagion over social and economic networks, and its consequences for modern societies. It starts with an accessible but solid introduction to basic concepts of the theory of networks, with intuitive explanations and examples both of networks that shape our daily lives, and of how researchers analyze them. It then focuses specifically on co...
Feeding in Vertebrates
This book provides students and researchers with reviews of biological questions related to the evolution of feeding by vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate groups including jawless fishes. The book describes mechanisms and theories for understanding the relationships between feeding structure and feeding behavior. Finally, the book demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms across the biodiversity of vertebrates.
