These species are characterized by two spine-less dorsal fins and a ring-shaped intestinal valve. Their phylogenetic relationships are not congruent among different methods and approaches, such as the use of morphological or molecular data. The present study evaluates the phylogenetic relationships of species of the order Lamniformes by means of phylogenetic reconstructions through Bayesian inference based on morphological and molecular data and using both datasets combined. The consensus tree of the morphological Bayesian reconstruction shows that Lamnidae and Alopiidae are monophyletic, while Odontaspididae is polyphyletic. Eight synapomorphies are detected in Alopiidae, six in Lamnidae, and one for Odontaspididae. In the Bayesian molecular reconstruction consensus tree, Lamnidae and Odontaspididae are monophyletic, and Alopiidae is polyphyletic. In the consensus tree of the Bayesian reconstruction of combined data, Lamnidae, Alopiidae and, Odontaspididae are monophyletic. The results obtained suggest that posterior probabilities increase when using combined characters in a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, which is greatly advantageous for systematics of the order Lamniformes. Due to the presence of non-monophyletic groups, monotypic families, and the strong support for the division of lamniforms into two clades, a crucial review for the classification of species is needed.","PeriodicalId":347046,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129160910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anatomical relations of the neurocranium of R. texana are with the encephalon, the main sensory organs, the antorbital, synarcual, and spiracular cartilages, and with the mandibular, hyoid, and extra-ocular musculature. The encephalon is relatively narrow. The cerebellum is symmetrical and shows a partial division in the anterior and posterior portions. In the olfactory system, the following characteristics stand out: the external pigmentation of the olfactory organs, the high number of olfactory lamellae, and the asymmetry of the olfactory bulbs. In the optical system, the presence of the pupillary operculum and the division into two sections of the superior oblique muscle is notable.

Demersal crustaceans could be forage for deep-water predators such as G. furvescens, and sizes and shapes of prey eaten could be restricted by mouth size. The diet composition of G. furvescens was determined based on specimens collected from the bycatch of trawls targeting demersal crustaceans in 2013. Stomach contents revealed nylon shrimp Heterocarpus reedi (32.8% by weight), deep-water shrimp Haliporoides diomedeae (7.2% by weight), and indeterminate crustaceans (9.0% by weight). The diet composition was similar between sexes, body length, or depth strata. Prey size was a linear function of Gurgesiella furvescens mouth width, and prey mass positively related with G. furvescens individual mass. Although squat-lobsters Pleuroncodes monodon and Cervimunida johni were abundant in the study area, the nylon shrimp and deep-water shrimp in the diet of G. furvescens may be due to the preference or selection of this kind of prey in deep waters.","PeriodicalId":347046,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122180244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite being vulnerable, there are few studies on its life history, which makes it difficult to understand the population status of the species. Life-history parameters are essential in population ecology to assess the status and trends of population. In this study, it was proposed to evaluate the publication trends on Chimaera and the gaps in knowledge, analyzing which subject and species are most frequently studied. For this, the scientometric method was used, based on search of articles using a group of words directed to Chimaera in databases of bibliographic references (Scopus® and Web of ScienceTM). The articles were classified by year of publication, authors' location (at the country level), focus species and subject matter. The number of articles per year showed an exponential growth trend, indicating that studies on chimaera have been increased. Among the authors’countries, such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom, are prominent. The most studied species were: Hydrolagus colliei, Callorhinchus milii and Chimaera monstrosa. The main themes of the articles were anatomy, morphology and physiology, followed by systematics and evolution. The most diminished research topics were fishing and growth, for almost all species. Therefore, even with the growth trend, more effort and reinforcement is still required in the research of these fish, mainly in the aspects on fishery, growth, and reproduction themes.","PeriodicalId":347046,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127705015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
