Analysis of the geochemical variability in lepisosteid scales from the Fontllonga-3 site (early Danian, Tremp Formation, South Central Pyrenees, Spain): Implications for palaeoenvironmental studies [PDF]
Rare Earth Element (REE), Ba/Ca, Sr/Ca and δ18OPO4 analyses have been performed on the ganoine and isopedine of different types of isolated scales (anterior, middle, posterior flank scales and dorsal body margin scales) from juvenile lepisosteids from ...

Larval feeding studies of both ornamental and consumable fish species are important for formulating successful management, and culture strategies for conservation purposes. In the present study, we evaluated prey selectivity for the tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus in the larval stage (first 8 weeks) using the zooplankton Artemia fransiscana, Daphnia

The invisible fish: hydrodynamic constraints for predator-prey interaction in fossil fish Saurichthys compared to recent actinopterygians [PDF]
Recent pike-like predatory fishes attack prey animals by a quick strike out of rest or slow movement. This fast-start behaviour includes a preparatory, a propulsive and a final phase, and the latter is crucial for the success of the attack.

Germline development in amniotes : a paradigm shift in primordial germ cell specification [PDF]
In the field of germline development in amniote vertebrates, primordial germ cell (PGC) specification in birds and reptiles remains controversial. Avians are believed to adopt a predetermination or maternal specification mode of PGC formation, contrary ...
