Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Cartilaginous fishes are a highly vulnerable vertebrate group but remain poorly studied, especially those occupying deep-water ecological niches. Here, we describe the complete mitogenome of the deep-water chimaeriform Hydrolagus affinis (de Brito ...

The Synarcual of the Little Skate, Leucoraja erinacea: Novel Development Among the Vertebrates
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Evolutionary variation in anteroposterior patterning of the axial skeleton is a major contributor to the evolution of the vertebrate body plan, with five canonical vertebral types in tetrapods (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, caudal).

Questioning hagfish affinities of the enigmatic Devonian vertebrate Palaeospondylus [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Palaeospondylus gunni Traquair, 1890 is an enigmatic Devonian vertebrate whose taxonomic affinities have been debated since it was first described. Most recently, Palaeospondylus has been identified as a stem-group hagfish (Myxinoidea).

The whale shark genome reveals patterns of vertebrate gene family evolution
eLife, 2021 Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) are fundamental for understanding vertebrate evolution, yet their genomes are understudied. We report long-read sequencing of the whale shark genome to generate the best gapless chondrichthyan genome assembly yet ...

The mitogenomic phylogeny of the Elasmobranchii (Chondrichthyes)
Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2017 Here we present a mitogenomic perspective on the evolution of sharks and rays, being a first glance on the complete mitochondrial history of such an old and diversified group of vertebrates. The Elasmobranchii is a diverse subclass of Chondrichthyes, or cartilaginous fish, with about 1200 species of ocean- and freshwater-dwelling fishes spread all over

Mechanisms and Drivers for the Establishment of Life Cycle Complexity in Myxozoan Parasites
Biology, 2020 It is assumed that complex life cycles in cnidarian parasites belonging to the Myxozoa result from incorporation of vertebrates into simple life cycles exploiting aquatic invertebrates.
