Bibliography & References
Following is a list of many of the works consulted in the research and writing of this book. This list does not pretend to be comprehensive, rather it includes those scientific works that I deem most important or interesting plus a few popular works that are both scientifically accurate and readily available.
To keep this section manageably brief I have, with few exceptions, avoided many purely taxonomic and physiological papers as well as most range extension notes that do not include significant biological information about the species covered. Where the relevance of a given work is not clear from the title or its contents offers some noteworthy feature, I have included a brief explanatory note after its citation.
This list is subdivided for the convenience of those students and serious shark enthusiasts who wish to explore specific aspects of shark diversity, ecology, and life history beyond the scope of this book.
