Bioimaging of the sense organs and brain of fishes and reptiles. Left panel: 3D reconstruction of the head and brain of the deep‐sea viperfish Chauliodus sloani following diceCT. Right panel: A 3D reconstruction of a 70‐day‐old embryo head of the bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps following diceCT, showing the position of the segmented brain within the ...

Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Effect of aerial O-2 partial pressure on bimodal gas exchange and air-breathing behaviour in Trichogaster leeri [PDF]
© The Company of Biologists Ltd 2007The effects of experimental alterations of aerial O2 partial pressure (PO2,air) on bimodal gas exchange and airbreathing behaviour were investigated in the aquatic airbreathing fish Trichogaster leeri in normoxic water.

Exploring Larval Axolotl Brain Development: Insights Into Developmental and Functional Constraints
We studied brain shape and volume variations during larval development of the Mexican axolotl. Modularity, morphological integration, and allometric regressions supported both mosaic and concerted evolution models, highlighting a complex interplay of constraints during axolotl ontogeny.

New locality for Lepidosiren paradoxa Fitzinger, 1837 (Dipnoi: Lepidosirenidae) in Argentina [PDF]
In this study has document a new locality and thus a southern extension of the distribution of the lungfish Lepidosiren paradoxa to the coast of the Entre Rios Province in the lower Paraná River. This finding increases the range of L.

Tetraodon genome confirms Takifugu findings : most fish are ancient polyploids [PDF]
An evolutionary hypothesis suggested by studies of the genome of the tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes has now been confirmed by comparison with the genome of a close relative, the spotted green pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis.

The cognitive role of concept variability
I present and defend concept variability, the view that concepts can admit of indefinitely many variations and changes in their representational contents without thereby losing their identity. I argue that the variability of concepts is central to their role in enabling cognition, and thus that a concept's content variability is, despite philosophical ...

Abstract The term semantic primitives refers to a set of basic, atomic concepts from which all other (compound) concepts are constructed. It presupposes the principle of compositionality—the idea that complex items or expressions can be formed by combining simpler constituents.
