The elasmobranchs (sharks, rays and skates) being the extant survivors of one of the earliest offshoots of the vertebrate evolutionary tree are good model organisms to study the primitive vertebrate conditions. They play a significant role in maintaining the ecological balance and have high economic value. Due to over-exploitation and illegal fishing worldwide, the elasmobranch stocks are being decimated at an alarming rate. Appropriate management measures are necessary for restoring depleted… Expand

Molecular Phylogeny of Elasmobranchs
TLDR
This chapter summarizes the phylogeny studies reported on elasmobranchs and highlights the significance of molecular phylogeny in resolving taxonomic uncertainties and providing insights into the evolutionary relationship among elasmOBranchs. Expand
Mitogenomics of electric rays: evolutionary considerations within Torpediniformes (Batoidea; Chondrichthyes)
TLDR
The phylogenetic analyses support the hypothesis that electric rays are closely related to thornback rays (Platyrhinidae), forming a clade in a sister position to a group containing the remaining three batoid orders. Expand
A Review of the Mitogenomic Phylogeny of the Chondrichthyes
TLDR
The phylogenetic trees generated rejected the “Hypnosqualea” hypothesis and confirmed the monophyly of the Neoselachii and Batoidea as sister groups of the sharks. Expand
Complete Mitochondrial DNA Genome of Nine Species of Sharks and Rays and Their Phylogenetic Placement among Modern Elasmobranchs
TLDR
The present study expands the knowledge on the systematics, genetic differentiation, and conservation genetics of the species studied, and contributes to the understanding of the evolutionary history of Chondrichthyes. Expand
DNA Barcoding and Molecular Phylogeny
Classical way of practicing taxonomy is in endangered race in the era of genomics. In recent years, taxonomy became fashionable owing to the revolutionary approaches in taxonomy called DNA barcoding.… Expand
Delimiting cryptic species within the brown-banded bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium punctatum in the Indo-Australian region with mitochondrial DNA and genome-wide SNP approaches
TLDR
It is found that SNP data provided more robust results than mtDNA data in determining the boundary between population and cryptic species, and it is recommended that future studies use a comprehensive sampling regime that encompasses the full range of a species complex. Expand
Phylogenetic significance of clasper morphology of electric rays (Chondrichthyes: Batoidea: Torpediniformes)
TLDR
The present article analyzes the external and skeletal clasper anatomy of electric rays and reports newly discovered characters that can be useful for taxonomic diagnoses and higher‐level systematic studies. Expand
Molecular phylogenetic inference of White-Spotted Guitarfish (Rhynchobatus australiae) collected from local Malaysian fish markets
TLDR
Research findings from this study have increased the understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among guitarfish, sharks, and rays, and their respective taxonomic positions are given their shared morphological characters. Expand
Revision of the fossil batomorphs from the Cretaceous of Lebanon, and their impact on our understanding of the early step of the evolution of the clade
TLDR
The attribution of three lebanese shark-like rhinobatids species included into two new genera to Rhynchobatidae are discussed, which possess a combination of primitive characters such as propterygium failing to reach the level of the nasal capsules and pectoral fin posterior corner not reaching thelevel of the pelvic fin. Expand
Skeletal Anatomy of the Bigeye Sand Tiger Shark, Odontaspis noronhai (Lamniformes: Odontaspididae), and Its Implications for Lamniform Phylogeny, Taxonomy, and Conservation Biology
TLDR
The phylogenetic study strongly suggests non-monophyly of Odontaspididae, that traditionally consisted of C Archarias taurus, O. ferox, and O. noronhai, and the family Carchariidae is formally resurrected for the genus C archarias to separate it from the family Odontasididae sensu stricto for Odontspis.

Phylogeny of elasmobranchs based on LSU and SSU ribosomal RNA genes.
TLDR
Several different molecular studies now refute the Hypnosqualea hypothesis of elasmobranch interrelationships, and are consistent with the idea that "orbitostylic" sharks form a monophyletic group. Expand
Extensive paraphylies within sharks of the order Carcharhiniformes inferred from nuclear and mitochondrial genes.
TLDR
A new classification for the Carcharhiniformes is proposed, with the redefinition of the family Scyliorhinidae sensu stricto and the resurrection of thefamily Pentanchidae with a new definition. Expand
Molecular phylogenetic evidence refuting the hypothesis of Batoidea (rays and skates) as derived sharks.
TLDR
The phylogenetic placement of batoids as a basal elasmobranch lineage means that much of the current thinking regarding the evolution of morphological and life history characteristics in elasmOBranchs needs to be re-evaluated. Expand
Phylogeny of hammerhead sharks (Family Sphyrnidae) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear genes.
TLDR
The new hypothesis for the group suggests that the ancestor of all extant sharks was large and that small body size probably evolved twice at different times and places, suggesting divergent evolution in different lineages presumably in response to unique selective regimes. Expand
Molecular Phylogeny of the Sharks and Rays of Superorder Squalea Based on Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Gene
TLDR
The molecular phylogenetic tree established from the deduced cytochrome b amino acid sequences provides strong evidence for the dichotomous classifica tion of sharks and rays within Squalea. Expand
Molecular Phylogeny of Elasmobranchs
TLDR
This work extracted DNA from five species representing the major lineages of elasmobranchs and amplified and sequenced a portion of the 12S mitochondrial gene from each extract, resulting in a single most parsimonious tree. Expand
Among-site rate variation and phylogenetic analysis of 12S rRNA in sigmodontine rodents.
We analyze sequences from two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome b (cyt b) and 12S rRNA (12S), for a group of sigmodontine rodents among which phylogenetic relationships are well understood based on… Expand
Molecular systematics and global phylogeography of angel sharks (genus Squatina).
TLDR
A comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of 17 Squatina species based on two mitochondrial markers and a molecular clock analysis show that both lineage divergences coincide with the estimated time of these two geological events. Expand
A recent shark radiation: molecular phylogeny, biogeography and speciation of wobbegong sharks (family: Orectolobidae).
TLDR
It is proposed that the onset of diversification of orectolobid sharks is of Miocene age and occurred within the Indo-Australian region, and surprisingly, there is evidence for a recent and rapid radiation of wobbegong sharks. Expand
Evolution of NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 in east African cichlid fish.
TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences shows that the mtDNA variation in Lake Malawi cichlids is nested monophyletically within the range of variation shown by Tanganyikan cichLids, and Divergences among tribes are consistent with an intralacustrine radiation within the past 10 million years.
