Elasmobranch Phylogeny: A Mitochondrial Estimate Based on 595 Species (2012, background): “Our results provide robust support for the Myliobatiformes as circumscribed by Compagno (1999).”
Global-scale genetic identification of hammerhead sharks: Application to assessment of the international fin trade and law enforcement (2005, background): “Although hammerhead sharks as a group (family Sphyrnidae, eight described species; Compagno 1999) are easily distinguished as whole animals from other sharks due to their characteristic head (i.e., wide and flattened ‘‘hammer’’ or shovel-shaped head), catches are rarely recorded to species.”
Biodiversity of arctic marine fishes: taxonomy and zoogeography (2011, background): “Somniosidae (sleeper sharks) Sleeper sharks are recognized as a separate family rather than a subfamily of Dalatiidae (Compagno 1999, 2005; Nelson 2006).”
