Convergence and plasticity in the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes [PDF]

, 2013
Ever since Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace (1858) propelled our understanding about the importance of natural selection in the transformation of species, researchers endeavoured to use this intellectual foundation to explain larger patterns of ...

No NFATC2 fusion in simple bone cyst of the jaw [PDF]

, 2023
Aims: Simple Bone Cysts (SBCs) predominantly occur in long bones and 59% harbour NFATC2 rearrangements. Jaw SBC is rare and was previously referred to as traumatic bone cyst. It can rarely occur in association with cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD).

The Rise of Jaw Protrusion in Spiny-Rayed Fishes Closes the Gap on Elusive Prey [PDF]

, 2017
Jaw protrusion is one of the most important innovations in vertebrate feeding over the last 400 million years [1, 2]. Protrusion enables a fish to rapidly decrease the distance between itself and its prey [2, 3].

Coevolution of the premaxillary ascending process and jaw protrusion in Lake Malawi cichlid fishes [PDF]

, 2023
Variation in jaw protrusion is critical to cichlid fish trophic diversification. For instance, jaw protrusion distance can influence suction, attack speed, as well as bite force, and jaw protrusion angle is associated with exploiting prey from different ...

Unusual Substrate to Grow: When Macroalgae Grow on the Upper Jaw of a Pufferfish [PDF]

, 2022
International audienceFollowing a predation injury, one pufferfish (Arothron hispidus) had its upper jaw colonized with macroalgae. The fish has since lived for at least one year with this algal assemblage (unidentified red algae, Padina boryana and ...

Gene expression of bone morphogenetic proteins and jaw malformation in golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus larvae in different feeding regimes

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
To explore the molecular response of fish larvae to nutritional manipulation, the partial sequences of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP1, BMP2, BMP4, BMP5, and BMP10) genes were obtained, and their expressions were quantified on golden pompano Trachinotus

A functional analysis of the jaw mechanism in the sling jaw wrasse [PDF]

, 2011
Sling-jaw wrasse can deploy their mouths forward at high speed to catch prey and collect food. The forward swimming of the fish and the deployment of the jaw mechanism has been simulated using numerical analysis of the equations of motion.

Regulation of eye and jaw colouration in three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus [PDF]

, 2018
Fish can change their skin and eye colour for background matching and signalling. Males of Gasterosteus aculeatus develop ornamental blue eyes and a red jaw during the reproductive season, colours that are further enhanced during courtship.

Visualization and Testing of Motion Bone Fish Jaw Apparatus Using a Generalised Structural Module [PDF]

, 2017
In this paper we used the previously created mathematical model of visceral skeleton of fish, which has been combined with a modified kinematic system of multilink mechanisms.

Pug-Headedness Anomaly in a Wild and Isolated Population of Native Mediterranean Trout Salmo trutta L., 1758 Complex (Osteichthyes: Salmonidae)

Diversity, 2020
Skeletal anomalies are commonplace among farmed fish. The pug-headedness anomaly is an osteological condition that results in the deformation of the maxilla, pre-maxilla, and infraorbital bones.
