Neurocranial anatomy of an enigmatic Early Devonian fish sheds light on early osteichthyan evolution

open access: yeseLife, 2018
The skull of ‘Ligulalepis’ from the Early Devonian of Australia (AM-F101607) has significantly expanded our knowledge of early osteichthyan anatomy, but its phylogenetic position has remained uncertain.

Investigating the Morphogenesis and Replacement of Lamprey Toothlets Using Synchrotron Imaging

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 10, October 2025.
Toothlet replacement is a conserved feature in lampreys. We describe the mechanism at tissue level and quantify the determining factors, thus providing the basis for studies into a deep homology of cyclostome toothlets and gnathostome teeth. ABSTRACT Teeth are a key innovation that underpinned the adaptive radiation of jawed vertebrates; however, their

Remarkable preservation of brain tissues in an Early Cretaceous iguanodontian dinosaur [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It has become accepted in recent years that the fossil record can preserve labile tissues. Here we report highly detailed mineralisation of soft tissues associated with a naturally occurring brain endocast of an iguanodontian dinosaur, found in ~133 Ma ...

Oligodendrogenesis in Evolution, Development and Adulthood

open access: yesGlia, Volume 73, Issue 9, Page 1770-1783, September 2025.
Main Points Oligodendrocytes and myelin took shape in jawed vertebrates During development, OPCs are originated from NSCs and then undergo differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes that supply myelin. OPCs persist in the adult CNS and continue to produce oligodendrocytes and myelin.

Lungfish‐like antero‐labial tooth addition and amphibian‐like enameloid‐enamel transition in the coronoid of a Devonian stem actinopterygian

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 418-441, September/October 2025.
The tooth patterning logic, which cannot be inferred from surface morphology, is revealed by visualizing buried tooth remnants in 3D. The primary teeth are added labially, initially organized in radial rows, which transition into linear rows where the coronoid becomes slender.

Three-dimensional paleohistology of the scale and median fin spine of Lophosteus superbus (Pander 1856) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Lophosteus superbus is one of only a handful of probable stem-group osteichthyans known from the fossil record. First collected and described in the late 19th century from the upper Silurian Saaremaa Cliff locality in Estonia, it is known from a wealth ...
