A Multi-Tissue, Multi-Species Assessment of Lipid and Urea Stable Isotope Biases in Mesopredator Elasmobranchs

Joshua Bennett-Williams et al.

Summary: The application of stable isotope analysis (SIA) in elasmobranch trophic ecology is increasing, but there is inconsistency in the choice of tissue pre-treatment methods. Different tissues and species have different isotope biases, suggesting a need for standardized treatment methods. The choice of treatment method can significantly impact the estimation of prey contributions to elasmobranch diet.

The world's largest omnivore is a fish

M. G. Meekan et al.

Summary: The evolution of large body size in marine animals like whale sharks requires a plentiful source of food. Whale sharks feed on nekton but consuming floating algae presents an energetic challenge. This study found that they obtain energy by feeding on floating macroalgae Sargassum and its associated epibionts, but this feeding strategy increases the threat of pollutants like plastic.

Isotopic discrimination in helminths infecting coral reef fishes depends on parasite group, habitat within host, and host stable isotope value

Philip M. Riekenberg et al.

Summary: This study used stable isotopes to determine discrimination factors for 13 parasite-host pairings of helminths in coral reef fish. Differences in Delta N-15 values grouped according to parasite groups and habitat within the host, while Delta C-13 values showed more complex patterns with no effect of parasite group or habitat within host.

Polar and neutral lipid composition of the copepod Lernaeocera lusci and its host Merluccius merluccius in relationship with the parasite intensity

Tarek Hajji et al.

Summary: The study found that infection by Lernaeocera lusci can lead to significant changes in lipid classes and fatty acid composition in host organs, while having a relatively smaller impact on the parasite itself. The highest parasitic infection resulted in a loss of about 80% of lipid moieties in all analyzed organs.

Whale shark (Rhincodon typus) predatory flexible feeding behaviors on schooling fish

Austin N. Montero-Quintana et al.

Summary: Whale sharks in Bahia de Los Angeles, Mexico, were observed interacting with anchovy schools, exhibiting two types of feeding behaviors: stationary suction-feeding and lunge-feeding. The study suggests that whale sharks may switch from suction to lunge-feeding when faced with other predators, indicating a potential change in feeding strategy based on environmental conditions.

Wound-healing capabilities of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) and implications for conservation management

Freya Womersley et al.

Summary: Marine taxa like whale sharks have a high capacity for external wound healing, but may face increased anthropogenic wounds due to commercial and recreational marine activities. This study examines the healing process of whale shark injuries, providing valuable information for potential management strategies in aggregation areas to reduce the risk of injuries resulting from vessel collisions.
