## Resource

Ghost Sharks are some of the most mysterious creatures in the ocean, and in this episode, we explore their story with Dr. Dominique Didier. She joins us to talk about her groundbreaking new book Ghost Sharks of the World , which she co-authored with Dr. Dave Ebert and others. From taxonomy and biology to personal stories of research, Dominique reveals why ghost sharks deserve as much attention as their shark and ray relatives. Ghost Sharks fascinate both scientists and ocean enthusiasts because of their evolutionary significance. In this conversation, Dominique shares her career journey, the challenges of documenting such elusive animals, and how collaborative science projects bring together experts from across the globe. Listeners will leave with a deeper appreciation of chimaeras and their role in the marine ecosystem, along with insight into how new scientific tools are expanding our knowledge of these deep-sea species.
