Descrição

Since the award-winning �rst volume, The Biology

of Sharks and Their Relatives, published in 2004, the

�eld has witnessed tremendous developments in

research, rapid advances in technology, and the

emergence of new investigators beginning to

explore issues of biodiversity, distribution,

physiology, and ecology in ways that eluded more

traditional studies. As an entirely new companion

volume, Sharks and Their Relatives II: Biodiversity,

Adaptive Physiology, and Conservation brings you

up to speed on these signi�cant changes,

speci�cally examining how elasmobranch �shes –

the sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras –

successfully survive in a wide range of habitats.

Emphasizes Conservation of Threatened Species

This multidisciplinary volume begins by examining

elasmobranch biodiversity patterns and their

integrated sensory systems. It then explores the

physiological adaptations – from unique sensory

modalities to compensatory mechanisms for

physiological and environmental stress – that make

these animals particularly
