Worldwide phylogeography of the blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) inferred from mitochondrial DNA reveals isolation of western Atlantic populations coupled with recent Pacific dispersal
Although many coastal shark species have widespread distributions, the genetic relatedness of worldwide populations has been examined for few species. The blacktip shark, (Carcharhinus limbatus),… Expand
Microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA analyses of the genetic structure of blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) nurseries in the northwestern Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea
We investigated the genetic structure of blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) continental nurseries in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea using mitochondrial DNA… Expand

The sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, is a large, cosmopolitan, coastal species. Females are thought to show philopatry to nursery grounds while males potentially migrate long distances, creating… Expand
Genetic population structure of the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) inferred from restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of mitochondrial DNA
Pour l'etude de la structure genetique de la population de requin-taupe bleu (Isurus oxyrinchus), on a utilise l'analyse du polymorphisme de la longueur des fragments de l'ADN de mitochondries,… Expand
Microsatellite analysis of population structure in the shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus)
Microsatellite analysis of the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) revealed very weak evidence of population structure. Samples collected from the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific,… Expand
Genetic heterogeneity among blacktip shark, Carcharhinus limbatus, continental nurseries along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
Genetic population structure of the blacktip shark, Carcharhinus limbatus, a commercially and recreationally important species in the southeast U.S. shark fishery, was investigated using… Expand
The implications of philopatry in sharks for the management of shark fisheries
Evidence of philopatric behavior in diverse species of sharks is accumulating through various sources of data, including studies of shark behavior, genetics and fisheries. If sharks display natural… Expand
Characterization of microsatellite loci isolated from the blacktip shark and their utility in requiem and hammerhead sharks
We isolated and characterized 16 microsatellite loci from the blacktip shark, Carcharhinus limbatus, and tested cross-species amplification in 11 Carcharhinus species and five additional shark… Expand
Molecular markers: progress and prospects for understanding reproductive ecology in elasmobranchs.

Application of modern molecular tools is expanding the understanding of elasmobranch reproductive ecology. High-resolution molecular markers provide information at scales ranging from the… Expand
Genetic identification of sharks in the U.S. Atlantic large coastal shark fishery
Nucleotide sequences of a 394-396 base pair fragment of mito- chondrial (mt) DNA, including parts of the cytochrome b and threonine tRNA genes, were obtained for eleven species of carcharhiniform… Expand
