Did you know? Sharks have some of the most diverse life histories. Even within shark species, life history traits vary dramatically! Some, like the Spiny Dogfish, can take up to 36 years to mature, while fast-growing species like the Australian Sharpnose Shark only take a year.

Did you know? Rays, like their shark relatives, also have incredibly diverse life history traits. Some species, such as the Large-eye Stingray, give birth to just one offspring.

Could extreme ocean environments unlock the mystery of #shark birthing grounds? 🦈🌊 New MBA research links baby #WhaleSharks to #OxygenMinimumZones. These areas may provide safety from predators & a rich food supply, crucial for the survival of neonates. ➡️ buff.ly/4hIdSdN @thesimslab.bsky.social
