Hanna Epstein- co author notes the top left image is "A close-up of the dermal denticles of a bonnethead shark, imaged with a scanning electron microscope. Denticles, these tooth-shaped structures, provide a shark with many benefits such as protection and increased drag reduction during swimming."

Fig 1Regions of the body and gills where samples were collected for denticle surface profilometry and size measurements. Outline of a white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) indicating where the five regions of tissue were sampled. AG = anterior to gill slit 1 (in green), LE = leading edge of interbranchial skin between gill slits 3 and 4 (in blue), TE = trailing edge of interbranchial skin between gill slits 3 and 4 (in orange), PG = posterior to gill slit 5 (in red), and B = body under the first dorsal fin (in gray).

The shark #denticle #multiverse will be on display at #sicb2024 this week. See talks in the
@SICB_DCB_DVM
sessions. So much diversity, so little time ... below the #ontogeny of sleeper shark denticles from Vaz et al. 2023: mdpi.com/1424-2818/15...

Getting ready for #SICB2024, and all things #shark skin! Testing patches of skin to measure the shear stress (friction) of water moving over the skin, and how #denticle orientation alters flow patterns.

The #shark #denticle #multiverse is vast, and @MarBioMoll will present at #SICB2023 on ontogenetic changes in skin denticles in leopard sharks. So much variation and so few previous studies of denticle ontogeny @SICB_ @SICB_DCB_DVM
Gearing up for the #SICB2023 meetings … first up is the #shark #denticle #multiverse! Talks by @dfbvaz and Tess Avery will describe remarkable changes in denticles during ontogeny in the Portuguese dogfish, accompanied by lots of variation around the body @SICB_ @SICB_DCB_DVM
Our new paper (https://bit.ly/3ErMtsp led by @MarBioMoll with Dylan Wainwright and former undergrad extraordinaire Greta Wong shows just how diverse #denticle shapes can be even in a very small area.
