The rise of predation in Jurassic lampreys
Nature Communications, 2023 Lampreys, one of two living lineages of jawless vertebrates, are always intriguing for their feeding behavior via the toothed suctorial disc and life cycle comprising the ammocoete, metamorphic, and adult stages. However, they left a meager fossil record,

Expression of three GnRH receptors in specific tissues in male and female sea lampreys Petromyzon marinus at three distinct life stages [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013 Two recently cloned gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors (lamprey GnRH-R-2 and lamprey GnRH-R-3) along with lamprey (l) GnRH-R-1 were shown to share similar structural features and amino acid motifs common to other vertebrate receptors.

Science, 1900 HAVING had living lampreys of various ages under observation in the biological laboratory of Johns Hopkins University, I present the following facts as to the ability of these animals to live in a very limited space. I received, about the middle of May, from Ithaca, N. Y., two lots of lamprey eggs, about six dozen eggs in each lot. They were shipped by

Histomorphological and Dynamical Changes in Female River Lampreys during Maturation under Controlled Conditions as a Part of Lamprey Restoration Programs [PDF]
AnimalsMore than 40 species of lampreys (Petromyzontiformes) are known worldwide. Some of them are parasitic and feed on the blood of fish or other aquatic animals. Lampreys spawn once in their lifetime, after which they die.

Behavioral, Endocrine, and Neuronal Responses to Odors in Lampreys [PDF]
AnimalsLampreys are primitive fish that rely significantly on olfactory cues throughout their complex life cycle. The olfactory system of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is among the best characterized in vertebrates. In recent decades, tremendous advances

Climate Projections and Pacific Lamprey Conservation: Evidence That Larvae in Natural Conditions May Be Resilient to Climate Warming [PDF]
BiologyIn many areas where larval Pacific lampreys currently rear, maximum stream temperatures may approach 27–31 °C during the next 75 years. Whether larval Pacific lampreys in natural conditions can tolerate these temperatures is unknown.

Species diversity in the new lamprey genus Occidentis, formerly classified as western North American 'Lampetra'. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAccurate taxonomy is fundamental to the study and conservation of biodiversity. Because of their morphological similarities, most brook and river lampreys in western North America have been placed in the genus Lampetra along with lampreys from Eurasia ...

A Comprehensive Spatially Resolved Metabolomics Dataset for Lampreys [PDF]
Scientific DataAs one of the two most ancient groups of extant vertebrates, lamprey has become an important model organism in various fields of biology. In this paper, we present a comprehensive tissue-wide spatial metabolomics dataset for lampreys, where 14 distinct ...

Genetic Identification of Lamprey Genera and Anadromous Ecotypes in Watersheds of the Northeastern Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsNonparasitic, nonmigratory Western Brook Lamprey (WBL; Lampetra ayresii), and parasitic, anadromous Western River Lamprey (WRL; L. ayresii) are sympatric lampreys that likely represent different life history variations of a single species.

Single-cell transcriptome atlas of lamprey exploring Natterin- induced white adipose tissue browning [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsLampreys are early jawless vertebrates that are the key to understanding the evolution of vertebrates. However, the lack of cytomic studies on multiple lamprey organs has hindered progress in this field.
