| Summary: | Fig. 3. Ecomorphotype of A. milarcae. Linear discriminant (LD) analysis based on log-transformed precaudal length (or disc length) and pectoral fin span (or disc width) measurements for 53 living elasmobranch species belonging to eight specialized ecomorphotypes, with Aquilolamna milarcae added. Note the position of A. milarcae (black star), clearly separated from other selachimorph taxa and suggesting an aquilopelagiclike ecomorphotype for this distinctive shark; this is confirmed when a 250-cm hypothetical maximum total length is used for A. milarcae (white star) (see supplementary materials). RB, rhinobenthic; light-blue silhouette, Megachasma pelagios; dark-blue silhouette, Cetorhinus maximus; green silhouette, Hexanchus griseus; purple silhouette, Pseudocarcharias kamoharai; yellow silhouette, Squatina japonica; gray silhouette, Rhina ancylostoma; red silhouette, Mobula birostris; brown silhouette, Pteroplatytrygon violacea.
