New Cretaceous lungfishes (Dipnoi, Ceratodontidae) from western North America [PDF]
Journal of Paleontology, 2016 AbstractCeratodontid lungfishes are generally rare, poorly represented elements of North America’s Mesozoic ecosystems, with previously known maximum diversity in the Late Jurassic. Herein we describe four new species of the form genusCeratodus, from the Cretaceous of the Western Interior, considerably expanding fossil representation of post-Triassic ...

Intra-Testicular Signals Regulate Germ Cell Progression and Production of Qualitatively Mature Spermatozoa in Vertebrates [PDF]
, 2014 Spermatogenesis, a highly conserved process in vertebrates, is mainly under the hypothalamic-pituitary control, being regulated by the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, FSH and LH, in response to stimulation exerted by Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (

Evolution and Development of the Atrial Septum
The Anatomical Record, Volume 302, Issue 1, Page 32-48, January 2019., 2019 ABSTRACT The complete division of the atrial cavity by a septum, resulting in a left and right atrium, is found in many amphibians and all amniotes (reptiles, birds, and mammals). Surprisingly, it is only in eutherian, or placental, mammals that full atrial septation necessitates addition from a second septum.

The pH sensitivity of Aqp0 channels in tetraploid and diploid teleosts
The FASEB Journal, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 2172-2184, May 2015., 2015 ABSTRACT Water homeostasis and the structural integrity of the vertebrate lens is partially mediated by AQP0 channels. Emerging evidence indicates that external pH may be involved in channel gating. Here we show that a tetraploid teleost, the Atlantic salmon, retains 4 aqp0 genes (aqp0a1, ‐0a2, ‐0b1, and ‐0b2), which are highly, but not exclusively ...

The Monogenean Parasite Fauna of Cichlids: A Potential Tool for Host Biogeography
International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 We discuss geographical distribution and phylogeny of Dactylogyridea (Monogenea) parasitizing Cichlidae to elucidate their hosts′ history. Although mesoparasitic Monogenea (Enterogyrus spp.) show typical vicariant distribution, ectoparasitic representatives from different continents are not considered sister taxa, hence their distribution cannot result

Darwin, Haeckel, and the “Mikluskan gas organ theory”
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 253, Issue 4, Page 370-389, April 2024.Abstract A previously unknown reference to the Russian ethnologist, biologist, and traveler Nikolai N. Miklucho‐Maclay (1846–1888) was discovered in correspondence between Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919). This reference has remained unknown to science, even to Miklucho‐Maclay's biographers, probably because Darwin used the ...
