Assessing Habitat Use and MovementVirtually every area of research associated with sharks and their relatives has been strongly impacted by the revolutionary growth in technology. The questions we can now ask are very different than those reported even two decades ago. Modern immunological and genetic techniques, satellite telemetry and archival tagging, modern phylogenetic analysis, GIS, and bomb dating, are just a few of the techniques and procedures that have become a part of our investigative lexicon.A modern synthesis of the biology of Chondrichthyans, Biology of Sharks and Their Relatives, SecondJARE data reports.Marine biology ;13.ChondrichthyesMarine biologyElectronic books.Chondrichthyes.Marine biology.597.3Carrier Jeffrey C920802Musick John A920803Heithaus Michael R920804MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461727503321Biology of sharks and their relatives2065291UNINA
