The published complete mitochondrial genome of the milk shark (Rhizoprionodon acutus) is a misidentified Pacific spadenose shark (Scoliodon macrorhynchos) (Chondrichthyes: Carcharhiniformes).

ABSTRACT: The recently published mitogenome of milk shark Rhizoprionodon acutus (MN602076/NC_046016) was fully resolved in an unexpected phylogenetic position in the original mitogenome announcement, which rendered the genus Scoliodon paraphyletic. Here, we show that this mitogenome is actually that of a misidentified Pacific spadenose shark (Scoliodon macrorhynchos). The error is documented to avoid the perpetuation of erroneous sequence information in the literature.

The complete mitochondrial genome of milk shark, Rhizoprionodon acutus (Ruppell 1837).

Project description:The complete mitogenome sequence of the milk shark, of which Rhizoprionodon acutus was determined using long PCR. The genome was 16,693 bp in length and it contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 D-loop region. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is A (31.63%), C (23.91%), T (31.38%), and G (13.08%). However, the base composition of A (31.38%), C (13.08%), T (31.63%), and G (23.91%) was in the light strand. Except for that COXI began with GTG, all the protein initiation codons were ATG. What's more, all the protein termination codons were TAA, in addition to ND2, ND3, and Cytb ended with TAG, COXII and ND4 finished only with T, and ND6 with AGG. Moreover, based on thirteen concatenated PCGs nucleotide datasets, the phylogenetic analysis showed high value support for the following sister clade among the two genera (Rhizoprionodon acutus, Rhizoprionodon; Scoliodon macrorhynchos and Scoliodon laticaudus, Scoliodon).

Complete mitochondrial genome of the gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae).

Project description:We report the first mitochondrial genome sequences for the gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos. Two specimens from the British Indian Ocean Territory were sequenced independently using two different next generation sequencing methods, namely short read sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq and long read sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION sequencer. The two sequences are 99.9% identical and are 16,705 base pairs (bp) and 16,706 bp in length. The mitogenome contains 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and two non-coding regions; the control region and the origin of light-strand replication (OL).

Complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of the snaggletooth shark Hemipristis elongata (Carcharhiniformes: Hemigaleidae).

Project description:In this study, we first present the complete mitochondrial genome of Hemipristis elongata, the only member of genus Hemipristis in family Hemigaleidae. It is 16,691?bp in length with the typical gene order invertebrates. Its overall base composition is 31.7% A, 24.1% C, 12.9% G and 31.3% T. Two start codons (ATG and GTG) and three stop codons (TAG, AGA and TAA/T) are found in the protein-coding genes. The 22 tRNA genes ranged from 67?bp (tRNA-Cys, tRNA-Ser2) to 75?bp (tRNA-Leu1). The phylogenetic result showed that H. elongata was clustered to Hemigaleus microstoma and formed Hemigaleidae.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the common smoothhound shark, Mustelus mustelus (Carcharhiniformes: Triakidae).

Project description:We present the complete mitochondrial genome of the common smoothhound , Mustelus mustelus,which is 16,755 bp long, contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and non-coding control region. All protein-coding genes begin with the ATG codon, except for the COI gene, which begins with GTG. Six protein-coding genes terminated with the TAA codon, and six with incomplete codons, T or TA. The phylogenetic reconstruction places M. mustelus within the genus Mustelus, with the closest relationship to the placental species, M. griseus. This mitogenome provides valuable information to further unravel the evolution of alternate reproductive modes within the genus.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae), from the Western Indian Ocean.

Project description:We present the mitochondrial genome sequence of a gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker 1856), a coral reef associated species. This is the first mitogenome for this species from the western Indian Ocean. The mitogenome is 16,705 bp in length, has 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a non-coding control region, and demonstrates a gene arrangement congruent with other shark and most vertebrate species. This mitogenome provides a genomic resource for assisting with population, evolutionary and conservation studies for the gray reef shark, which is increasingly under threat from fisheries.

Growth trajectories of prenatal embryos of the deep-sea shark Chlamydoselachus anguineus (Chondrichthyes).

Project description:Chlamydoselachus anguineus, Garman 1884, commonly called the frilled shark, is a deep-sea shark species occurring up to depths of 1300 m. It is assumed to represent an ancient morphotype of sharks (e.g., terminal mouth opening, more than five gill slits) and thus is often considered to represent plesiomorphic traits for sharks. Therefore, its early ontogenetic developmental traits are important for understanding the evolution of its particular phenotype. Here, we established six stages for prenatal embryos and used linear measurements and geometric morphometrics to analyse changes in shape and size as well as their timing during different embryonic stages. Our results show a change in head shape and a relocation of the mouth opening at a late stage of development. We also detected a negative allometric growth of the head and especially the eye compared to the rest of the body and a sexual dimorphism in total body length, which differs from the known data for adults. A multivariate analysis of covariance shows a significant interaction of shape related to the logarithm of centroid size and developmental stage. Geometric morphometrics results indicate that the head shape changes as a covariate of body size while not accounting for differences between sexes. The growth pattern of stages 32 and 33 indicates a shift in head shape, thus highlighting the moment in development when the jaws start to elongate anteriorly to finally achieve the adult condition of terminal mouth opening rather than retaining the early embryonic subterminal position as is typical for sharks. Thus, the antero-terminal mouth opening of the frilled shark has to be considered a derived feature.

The Italian record of the Cretaceous shark, Ptychodus latissimus Agassiz, 1835 (Chondrichthyes; Elasmobranchii).

Project description:Associated and isolated teeth of the extinct elasmobranch Ptychodus latissimus Agassiz, 1835 from the Upper Cretaceous Scaglia Rossa pelagic limestone of northern Italy are described and discussed here in detail for the first time. The dentition of this widely distributed species consists of low-crowned molariform teeth that exhibit marked and strong occlusal ornamentations suitable for crushing hard-shelled prey. The associated tooth sets and isolated teeth analyzed here are heterogeneous in size and crown outline, but unambiguously belong to a single species. Re-examination of this Italian material consisting of ca. 30 specimens mostly coming from historical collections allows for a rigorous assessment of the intraspecific variability of P. latissimus, including the identification of three different tooth "morphotypes" based on their positions within the jaws. The relatively flat crowns and occlusal sharp and thick ridges indicate a high adaptation for crushing hard-shelled prey in P. latissimus indicating that the durophagous adaptations of this species were certainly more pronounced than in all other species of Ptychodus. We hypothesize that P. latissimus was a third-level predator occupying habitats with abundant thick-shelled prey, such as inoceramid bivalves and ammonites.

Use of nursery areas by the extinct megatooth shark Otodus megalodon (Chondrichthyes: Lamniformes).

Project description:Nursery areas are fundamental for the success of many marine species, particularly for large, slow-growing taxa with low fecundity and high age of maturity. Here, we examine the population size-class structure of the extinct gigantic shark Otodus megalodon in a newly described middle Miocene locality from Northeastern Spain, as well as in eight previously known formations (Temblor, Calvert, Pisco, Gatún, Chucunaque, Bahía Inglesa, Yorktown and Bone Valley). In all cases, body lengths of all individuals were inferred from dental parameters and the size-class structure was estimated from kernel probability density functions and Gaussian mixture models. Our analyses support the presence of five potential nurseries ranging from the Langhian (middle Miocene) to the Zanclean (Pliocene), with higher densities of individuals with estimated body lengths within the typical range of neonates and young juveniles. These results reveal, for the first time, that nursery areas were commonly used by O. megalodon over large temporal and spatial scales, reducing early mortality and playing a key role in maintaining viable adult populations. Ultimately, the presumed reliance of O. megalodon on the presence of suitable nursery grounds might have also been determinant in the demise of this iconic top predatory shark.
