Shark Measurements

Shark Measurements is a small team of early-career scientists specialising in the evolution and ecology of Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). Our work is guided by our four founding principles- Quantitative results - Objectivity - Collaboration - Inclusivity Our work primarily focusses on the evolution and ecology of sharks and rays, although we occasionally work with other organisms. We have published work along with our collaborators on a number of Elasmobranch species, covering topics such as reproductive behaviour, morphology and ontogenetic morphometry. Research techniques used by our team include (but are by no means limited to) comparative phylogenetics, deep learning algorithms, Hidden Markov Models, Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAV), traditional multivariate statistics, elliptic Fourier analysis, geometric morphometrics (2D and 3D), population genetics and genomics, and social network analysis.
