Swimming abilities of temperate pelagic fish larvae prove that they may control their dispersion in coastal areas [PDF]
, 2019 The Sense Acuity and Behavioral (SAAB) Hypothesis proposes that the swimming capabilities and sensorial acuity of temperate fish larvae allows them to find and swim towards coastal nursery areas, which are crucial for their recruitment. To gather further

Ontogeny of neuroembryology [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1988 This essay commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of neuroembryology. One cannot, of course, ascribe the beginning of a branch of science to a single year, but the years between 1885 and 1890 saw major publications by the German anatomist Wilhelm His (1831–1904) and the Spanish histologist S.

On growth and form of irregular coiled-shell of a terrestrial snail: Plectostoma concinnum (Fulton, 1901) (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda: Diplommatinidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The molluscan shell can be viewed as a petrified representation of the organism’s ontogeny and thus can be used as a record of changes in form during growth.
