Nkx2-5 and Sarcospan genetically interact in the development of the muscular ventricular septum of the heart [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The muscular ventricular septum separates the flow of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood in air-breathing vertebrates. Defects within it, termed muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs), are common, yet less is known about how they arise than rarer ...

Prioritizing the reassessment of data‐deficient species on the IUCN Red List

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite being central to the implementation of conservation policies, the usefulness of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is hampered by the 14% of species classified as data‐deficient (DD) because information to evaluate these species’ extinction risk was lacking when they were last ...

Identifying heterogeneity in rates of morphological evolution:Discrete character change in the evolution of lungfish (Sarcopterygii; Dipnoi) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Quantifying rates of morphological evolution is important in many macroevolutionary studies, and critical when assessing possible adaptive radiations and episodes of punctuated equilibrium in the fossil record.

Species which may act as vectors or reservoirs of diseases covered by the Animal Health Law: Listed pathogens of fish

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Vector or reservoir species of five fish diseases listed in the Animal Health Law were identified, based on evidence generated through an extensive literature review (ELR), to support a possible updating of Regulation (EU) 2018/1882. Fish species on or in which highly polymorphic region‐deleted infectious salmon anaemia virus (HPR∆ ISAV), Koi ...

Conservation of Intronic Sequences in Vertebrate Mitochondrial Solute Carrier Genes (Zebrafish, Chicken, Mouse and Human)

open access: yesNon-Coding RNA, 2019
The conservation of intronic sequences was studied in the mitochondrial solute carrier (SLC25A*) genes of Zebrafish, Chicken, Mouse and Human. These genes are homologous and the coding sequences have been well conserved throughout Vertebrates, but the ...

Is Onychodontida (Osteichthyes, Sarcopterygii) monophyletic? Assessing discordant phylogenies with quantitative comparative cladistics

open access: diamondSpanish Journal of Palaeontology, 2022
Onychodontida (Osteichthyes, Sarcopterygii) was an extinct group of Devonian predatory marine fishes, representing an early branch in sarcopterygian evolution, and currently considered closely related to coelacanths (Actinistia). Due to their limited fossil record, the relationships of onychodonts within sarcopterygians, and whether all taxa ...

An insight into the phylogenetic history of linked gene families in vertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background The human chromosomes 2q, 7, 12q and 17q show extensive intra-genomic homology, containing duplicate, triplicate and quadruplicate paralogous regions centered on the HOX gene clusters.

Anatomical network analysis of the musculoskeletal system reveals integration loss and parcellation boost during the fins-to-limbs transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Tetrapods evolved from within the lobe-finned fishes around 370 Ma. The evolution of limbs from lobe-fins entailed a major re-organization of the skeletal and muscular anatomy of appendages in early tetrapods. Concurrently, a degree of similarity between

The cranial endocast of the Upper Devonian dipnoan ‘Chirodipterus’ australis [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
One of the first endocasts of a dipnoan (lungfish) to be realised was that of the Upper Devonian taxon Chirodipterus australis. This early interpretation was based on observations of the shape of the cranial cavity alone and was not based on a natural ...

The small non-coding RNA processing machinery of two living fossil species, lungfish and coelacanth, gives new insights into the evolution of the Argonaute protein family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Argonaute (AGO) family proteins play many roles in epigenetic programming, genome rearrangement, mRNA breakdown, inhibition of translation, and transposon silencing.
