Inhaltsangabe

Expanding the coverage of its preceding volume (2004), this new book considers how elasmobranch fishes, the sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras' successfully survive in the wide range of habitats in which they live. It examines the particular suitability of integrated sensory systems and the resultant perception of their surroundings. This resource also discusses the stresses and behaviors that prevent elasmobranchs from inhabiting some oceanic realms and the adaptations that allow many other elasmobranch species to exploit virtually all aquatic realms, from marine and freshwater habitats, to tropical and Arctic waters.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Under the editorial guidance of Jeffrey C. Carrier, Ph.D., John A. (Jack) Musick, Ph.D., and Michael R. Heithaus, Ph.D., this book includes much of the team's original research along with keen insights from their combined nearly 80 years of teaching in higher academia. Dr. Carrier's current research is focused on the reproductive biology and mating behaviors of nurse sharks in a long-term study from an isolated region of the Florida Keys. Dr. Musick has published more than 150 scientific papers and co-authored or edited 16 books focused on the ecology and conservation of sharks, other marine fishes, and sea turtles. Dr. Musick served as co-chair of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group for nine years, and is currently the vice chair for science. Dr. Heithaus' current work is centered on predator-prey interactions and the factors influencing behavioral decisions, especially of large marine taxa including marine mammals, sharks and rays, and sea turtles.
