Are flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) monophyletic? [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2013 All extant species of flatfish (order Pleuronectiformes) are thought to descend from a common ancestor, and therefore to represent a monophyletic group. This hypothesis is based largely on the dramatic bilateral asymmetry and associated ocular migration characteristics of all flatfish. Yet, molecular-based phylogenetic studies have been inconclusive on

Retinomotor Changes in Flatfishes
Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1965 This histological study is concerned with demonstrating the existence of retinomotor changes in flatfishes. In three species, selected as representatives (sole, Solea solea; plaice, Pleuronectes platessa; and merry sole, Microstomus kitt), it is shown that normal radial displacements of rods, cones, and retinal pigment take place in expected ...

Unraveling the transcriptomic landscape of eye migration and visual adaptations during flatfish metamorphosis. [PDF]
Commun BiolFlatfish undergo a remarkable metamorphosis from symmetrical pelagic larvae to fully asymmetrical benthic juveniles. The most distinctive features of this transformation is the migration of one eye.

The transcriptome of metamorphosing flatfish [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2016 Flatfish metamorphosis denotes the extraordinary transformation of a symmetric pelagic larva into an asymmetric benthic juvenile. Metamorphosis in vertebrates is driven by thyroid hormones (THs), but how they orchestrate the cellular, morphological and functional modifications associated with maturation to juvenile/adult states in flatfish is an enigma.

Further investigations on fincrawling in flatfishes (Teleostei: Pleuronectiformes): phylogenetic implications [PDF]
, 2023 Fincrawling is a unique, recognizable behaviour pattern exhibited by many flatfishes (order Pleuronectiformes), whereby the fish uses the fin rays of the dorsal and anal fins to walk over the substratum.
