Ectodermal tissue excised from Xenopus embryos self‐organizes into a three‐dimensional mucociliary organoid. Here, we generate a neural variant, termed neurobot, by implanting neural precursor cells. Neurobots develop mature neurons, adopt distinct morphologies, exhibit more complex motility, and respond differentially to neuroactive compounds. Imaging

Abstract Nearly half of all living vertebrate diversity can be traced back to a single lineage of lobe‐finned fishes (piscine sarcopterygians) that radiated during the Palaeozoic Era. In recent years, the phylogenetic framework of tetrapodomorph fishes has largely stabilized, with the exception of the ‘Osteolepiformes’, the interrelationships of which ...

Development of the Pectoral Lobed Fin in the Australian Lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri
The evolutionary transition from paired fins to limbs involved the establishment of a set of limb muscles as an evolutionary novelty. In parallel, there was a change in the topography of the spinal nerves innervating appendicular muscles, so that ...

Abstract The fossil record of coelacanths (Actinistia) is diminished by several nominal gaps that obscure vital information pertaining to the clade's evolutionary history. Latimeriidae, the family that includes the extant coelacanth Latimeria, in addition to the Cenozoic, has an outstanding missing gap of 50 myr during the Mesozoic, with no records of ...

Structural and functional divergence of growth hormone-releasing hormone receptors in early sarcopterygians: lungfish and Xenopus. [PDF]
The evolutionary trajectories of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor remain enigmatic since the discovery of physiologically functional GHRH-GHRH receptor (GHRHR) in non-mammalian vertebrates in 2007.

Uncovering a 500 million year old history and evidence of pseudogenization for TLR15
IntroductionToll like receptors (TLRs) are at the front line of pathogen recognition and host immune response. Many TLR genes have been described to date with some being found across metazoans while others are restricted to specific lineages.

Genomic data support the definition of a new elateroid family, Badmaateridae fam. nov., with Badmaater chilensis gen. nov. sp. nov. as the only representative. Badmaateridae is sister to an extensive clade containing fireflies, soldier beetles, net‐winged beetles and click beetles.

FishSounds Versions 2 and 3: Achieving the Largest Global Database of Fish Sound Production
ABSTRACT Motivation Fish sounds are integral to a variety of ecological functions, including reproduction, predator–prey interactions and recruitment, with ever‐growing interest in their relationships to anthropogenic impacts and applications for passive acoustic monitoring.

Fish species lifespan prediction from promoter cytosine‐phosphate‐guanine density
Abstract Lifespan is a key attribute of a species' life cycle and varies extensively among major lineages of animals. In fish, lifespan varies by several orders of magnitude, with reported values ranging from less than 1 year to approximately 400 years.

Habitat of early stegocephalians (Chordata, Vertebrata, Sarcopterygii): a little saltier than most paleontologists like? [PDF]
A controversy on the degree of marine influence in the paleoenvironments represented by many Paleozoic stegocephalian-bearing fossiliferous localities has persisted for decades.
