Nucleus Rostrolateralis: An Expansion of the Epithalamus in Some Actinopterygii [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2013 ABSTRACTThe diencephalic nucleus rostrolateralis (RL) in the African butterfly fish (Pantodon buchholzi) is a brain nucleus identified in fewer than a dozen of the ∼25,000 species of actinopterygian fishes. Located in the rostrolateral diencephalon, this nucleus in Pantodon receives direct and indirect visual input from the superior visual field.

Ontogeny and potential function of poacher armor (Actinopterygii: Agonidae)
Journal of Morphology, 2020 AbstractMany vertebrates are armored over all or part of their body. The armor may serve several functional roles including defense, offense, visual display, and signal of experience/capability. Different roles imply different tradeoffs; for example, defensive armor usually trades resistance to attack for maneuverability.
