Effects of trophic ecology and habitat use on maternal transfer of contaminants in four species of young of the year lamniform sharks.
Kady Lyons,Aaron B. Carlisle,Antonella Preti,Christopher G. Mull,Mary Ellen Blasius,John O'Sullivan,Chuck Winkler,Christopher G. Lowe +7 more
TL;DR: Differences in organic contaminant signatures and contaminant concentration magnitudes among species corroborated what is known about species habitat use and may be used to provide insights into the feeding ecology of these animals.

Interactive effects of urea and lipid content confound stable isotope analysis in elasmobranch fishes
Aaron B. Carlisle,Steven Y. Litvin,Daniel J. Madigan,Kady Lyons,Jennifer S. Bigman,Melissa Ibarra,Joseph J. Bizzarro +6 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of urea and lipid extraction and demonstrate the confounding effects of these compounds, making it impossible to use C:N of non-urea-extracted samples as a basis for adjustment of δ13C.
Evidence of Maternal Offloading of Organic Contaminants in White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias)
Christopher G. Mull,Kady Lyons,Mary Ellen Blasius,Chuck Winkler,John O'Sullivan,Christopher G. Lowe +5 more
TL;DR: Maternal offloading of organic contaminants during reproduction has been noted in other apex predators, but this is the first evidence of transfer in a matrotrophic shark.
The degree and result of gillnet fishery interactions with juvenile white sharks in southern California assessed by fishery-independent and -dependent methods
Kady Lyons,Erica T. Jarvis,Salvador J. Jorgensen,Kevin C. Weng,John O'Sullivan,Chuck Winkler,Christopher G. Lowe +6 more
TL;DR: Although juvenile white sharks were shown to overlap with gillnet fisheries in their vertical, horizontal and temporal distributions, post- release survival of sharks retrieved live in gillnets was high and Sharks were more often found live ingillnets when net soak times were low.

Bioaccumulation of organochlorine contaminants and ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase activity in southern California round stingrays (Urobatis halleri) exposed to planar aromatic compounds
TL;DR: The results suggest that PCBs and/or other structurally related contaminants may be inducing a biological response in mainland males but not females, possibly the result of a dampening effect of estradiol; however, the exact physiological repercussions of exposure remain to be determined.
