Development of hypobranchial muscles with special reference to the evolution of the vertebrate neck
Zoological Letters, 2018 Background The extant vertebrates include cyclostomes (lamprey and hagfish) and crown gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates), but there are various anatomical disparities between these two groups. Conspicuous in the gnathostomes is the neck, which occupies the

Intermittent reproduction, mortality patterns and lifetime breeding frequency of females in a population of the adder (Vipera berus) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Female adders (Vipera berus) are “capital breeders” that exhibit delayed maturity and intermittent reproductive frequency. We studied the attainment of sexual maturity, the initiation of annual breeding in mature females, the energy and mortality costs ...
