Combinatorial Reconstruction of Sibling Groups (2008)
Tanya Berger-wolf, Bhaskar Dasgupta, Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse, Mary V. Ashley
Knowledge about sibling relationships is used in genetic epidemiology, conservation biology, and animal management. For example, knowledge of the genetic relationships among individuals is critical...
Error-tolerant sibship reconstruction in wild populations (2008)
Saad I. Sheikh, Mary V. Ashley, Isabel C. Caballero, Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse, Bhaskar Dasgupta
Abstract. Kinship analysis using genetic data is important for many biological applications, including many in conservation biology. Wide availability of microsatellites has boosted studies in wild...

Because sharks possess an unusual suite of reproductive characteristics, including internal fertilization, sperm storage, relatively low fecundity, and reproductive modes that range from oviparity to...
Multiple Paternity of a Lemon Shark Litter (Chondrichthyes: Carcharhinidae) (2001)
Kevin A. Feldheim, Samuel H. Gruber, Mary V. Ashley
Despite the importance of sharks to marine ecosystems as top predators and growing concern over the conservation status of many shark species, surprisingly little is known about many aspects of their...
The breeding biology of lemon sharks at a tropical nursery lagoon.
Feldheim, Kevin A, Gruber, Samuel H, Ashley, Mary V
Surprisingly little is known about the reproductive behaviour and breeding biology of most shark species, especially in natural populations. Here, we characterize reproductive patterns and use of a...
