| insights using a molecular approach into the life cycle of a tapeworm infecting great white sharks. | the great white shark carcharodon carcharias linnaeus, 1758 is a versatile and fierce predator (and responsible for many shark attacks on humans). this apex predator feeds on a wide range of organisms including teleosts, other elasmobranchs, cephalopods, pinnipeds, and cetaceans. although much is known about its diet, no trophic links have been empirically identified as being involved in the transmission of its tapeworm parasites. recently, the use of molecular tools combined with phylogenetics ... | 2011 | 21506792 |
