Bioimaging of sense organs and the central nervous system in extant fishes and reptiles in situ: A review

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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 ...

Genome Evolution and the Future of Phylogenomics of Non-Avian Reptiles

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Non-avian reptiles comprise a large proportion of amniote vertebrate diversity, with squamate reptiles—lizards and snakes—recently overtaking birds as the most species-rich tetrapod radiation.

Absence of Typical Haversian System from the Compact Bone of Some Reptile and Bird Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background and Objective: Mammalian compact bone is composed mostly of Haversian system. Although there are many studies describing the typical Haversian system in mammals, there are few studies conducted on bones from non-mammalian species. The objective of the current study was to investigate the existence of the typical Haversian system in compact ...

Metabolic allometric scaling of multicellular organisms as a product of evolutionary development and optimization of food chains [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Reviews and Letters, Vol. 19, No. 2, 67-119 (2024), 2016
Production of energy is a foundation of life. Metabolic rate of organisms (amount of energy produced per unit time) generally increases slower than organisms' mass, which has important implications for life organization. This phenomenon, when considered across different taxa, is called interspecific allometric scaling. Its origin has puzzled scientists

Nuclear parcellation of pontine catecholaminergic and cholinergic neurons in gray parrots and pied crow brains

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Immunohistochemical staining for tyrosine hydroxylase reveals the neurons forming the locus coeruleus complex in the pontine region of the brain of the Congo gray parrot. The appearance and parcellation of the locus coeruleus complex in birds shows many similarities, but also differences to that observed in mammals.

Rebuilding ships while at sea—Character individuality, homology, and evolutionary innovation

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Building on a previous account of evolutionary innovation, I propose here that evolutionary novelties are those individualized characters that are not homologous to any characters in the ancestor. Integrating functional and structural perspectives, I argue that functional as well as structural considerations are important for character ...

Preliminary Investigation of the Frictional Response of Reptilian Shed Skin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Developing deterministic surfaces relies on controlling the structure of the rubbing interface so that not only the surface is of optimized topography, but also is able to self-adjust its tribological behaviour according to the evolution of sliding conditions.

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.
