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 ...

Linking geographic distribution and niche through estimation of niche density
Species with larger climatic tolerances (niches) may have large or small geographic ranges, dependent on the commonness of favourable climatic conditions across geographic space. Here, we explore the relationship between geographic range size and niche area, while also proposing a novel measure of niche density.

Abstract The vertebrate head and its skull represent a significant innovation that has played a key role in the evolutionary and ecological success of vertebrates. For a global and integral understanding of the evolution of the head skeleton, it is essential to have reliable information on the development of chondrocranium in a wide range of vertebrate

The relationship between the secondary vascular system and the lymphatic vascular system in fish
ABSTRACT New technologies have resulted in a better understanding of blood and lymphatic vascular heterogeneity at the cellular and molecular levels. However, we still need to learn more about the heterogeneity of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems among different species at the anatomical and functional levels.
