Bony labyrinth morphology in early neopterygian fishes (Actinopterygii: Neopterygii) [PDF]
ABSTRACTEndocasts of the osseous labyrinth have the potential to yield information about both phylogenetic relationships and ecology. Although bony labyrinth morphology is well documented in many groups of fossil vertebrates, little is known for early Neopterygii, the major fish radiation containing living teleosts, gars and the bowfin.

Phylogenetic analyses of ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) using collagen type I protein sequences [PDF]
Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, comprising over half of all living vertebrate species. Phylogenetic relationships between ray-finned fishes have historically pivoted on the study of morphology, which has notoriously failed to resolve higher order relationships, such as within the percomorphs ...

The grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella Cuvier and Valenciennes, was imported to the U.S. in 1963 as a biological control agent for hydrilla (Hydrilla verticilliata (L.f.) Royle) and other aquatic plants.

Developmental changes of opsin gene expression in ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii)
AbstractFish often change their habitat and trophic preferences during development. Dramatic functional differences between embryos, larvae, juveniles and adults also concern sensory systems, including vision. Here we focus on the photoreceptors (rod and cone cells) in the retina and their gene expression profiles during the development.

Phenotypic diversity in an endangered freshwater fish Squalius microlepis (Actinopterygii, Leuciscidae) [PDF]
Squalius microlepiswas examined from recent and historical collections within the known range of the species with special emphasis on intraspecific variability and variations, and compared to its closest relative speciesS. tenellus(in total, 193 specimens; 33 absolute and 52 proportional measurements and ratios, and 12 counts including vertebrae ...

The Carboniferous radiation of fishes was marked by the convergent appearance of then-novel but now common ecomorphologies resulting from changes in the relative proportions of traits, including elongation of the front of the skull (rostrum).
