Recovery at Morvin: SERPENT final report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Recovery from disturbance is poorly understood in deep water, but the extent of anthropogenic impacts is becoming increasingly well documented. We used Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) to visually assess the change in benthic habitat after exploratory ...

Dercetid fishes from the Maastrichtian type area (Upper Cretaceous) of Belgium and the Netherlands

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
The family Dercetidae comprises a diverse array of marine aulopiform actinopterygians. Until now, merely seven specimens, assigned to five species, were recorded from the Maastrichtian type area.

The lower jaw of Devonian ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.
Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Ontogeny and potential function of poacher armor (Actinopterygii: Agonidae)

open access: yesJournal 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.

Complete mitochondrial DNA genomes for two northeast Pacific mesopelagic fishes, the Mexican lampfish (Triphoturus mexicanus) and black-belly dragonfish (Stomias atriventer)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Mesopelagic fishes are an important component of marine ecosystems, providing an important link between lower and higher trophic levels. This group of fishes is also highly abundant and make up a large portion of the marine vertebrate biomass.

The invisible fish: hydrodynamic constraints for predator-prey interaction in fossil fish Saurichthys compared to recent actinopterygians [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Recent pike-like predatory fishes attack prey animals by a quick strike out of rest or slow movement. This fast-start behaviour includes a preparatory, a propulsive and a final phase, and the latter is crucial for the success of the attack.

Intruder (DD38E), a recently evolved sibling family of DD34E/Tc1 transposons in animals

open access: yesMobile DNA, 2020
Background A family of Tc1/mariner transposons with a characteristic DD38E triad of catalytic amino acid residues, named Intruder (IT), was previously discovered in sturgeon genomes, but their evolutionary landscapes remain largely unknown. Results Here,

Phylogenetic Interrelationships of Ginglymodian Fishes (Actinopterygii: Neopterygii)

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The Ginglymodi is one of the most common, though poorly understood groups of neopterygians, which includes gars, macrosemiiforms, and "semionotiforms." In particular, the phylogenetic relationships between the widely distributed "semionotiforms," and between them and other ginglymodians have been enigmatic.
