Preliminary insight into the reproductive traits of the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) using in-field ultrasonography and circulating hormone concentrations (2023)
Journal Article
Thorburn, J., Cole, G., Naylor, A., Garbett, A., Wilson, K., James, M., …Collins, P. C. (2023). Preliminary insight into the reproductive traits of the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) using in-field ultrasonography and circulating hormone concentra

Due to global population declines, there is a pressing need for data on the life history traits of many elasmobranch species to support the development of species-specific management plans. A lack of information on the reproductive cycle of the Criti...

An integrative modelling framework for passive acoustic telemetry (2023)
Journal Article
Lavender, E., Biber, S., Illian, J., James, M., Wright, P. J., Thorburn, J., & Smout, S. (2023). An integrative modelling framework for passive acoustic telemetry. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 14(10), 2626-2638. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.1419

Passive acoustic telemetry is widely used to study the movements of aquatic animals. However, a holistic, mechanistic modelling framework that permits the reconstruction of fine‐scale movements and emergent patterns of space use from detections at re...

Characteristics of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) nuclear genome (2023)
Journal Article
Wagner, C. I., Kopp, M. E. L., Thorburn, J., Jones, C. S., Hoarau, G., & Noble, L. R. (2023). Characteristics of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) nuclear genome. G3, 13(9), Article jkad146. https://doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jkad146

Sequenced shark nuclear genomes are underrepresented, with reference genomes available for only four out of nine orders so far. Here we present the nuclear genome, with annotations, of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), a shark of interest to bio...

A holistic and comprehensive data approach validates the distribution of the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) (2023)
Journal Article
Garbett, A., Loca, S. L., Barreau, T., Biscoito, M., Bradley, C., Breen, J., …Collins, P. C. (2023). A holistic and comprehensive data approach validates the distribution of the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius). Journal of Fish

Morphological similarities between skates of the genus Dipturus in the north-eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean have resulted in longstanding confusion, misidentification and misreporting. Current evidence indicates that the common skate is best expl...

Mitochondrial haplotypes reveal low diversity and restricted connectivity of the critically endangered batoid population in a Marine Protected Area (2023)
Journal Article
Schwanck, T., Vizer, L., Thorburn, J., Dodd, J., Wright, P., Donnan, D., …Jones, C. (2024). Mitochondrial haplotypes reveal low diversity and restricted connectivity of the critically endangered batoid population in a Marine Protected Area. Marine Ecolo

Stability and long-term persistence of a species rely heavily on its genetic diversity, which is closely allied to its capacity for adaptation. In threatened species, population connectivity can play a major role in maintaining that diversity, and ge...
