The concept of heterochrony, which denotes a change in the relative timing of
developmental events and processes in evolution, has accompanied attempts to link …

The effects of temperature on growth, pelagic larval duration (PLD) and maximum swimming
speed were compared in the tropical fish marine species Amphiprion melanopus, to …

The effect of incubation temperature (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10° C) on haddock Melanogrammus
aeglefinus development and growth during the embryonic period and in subsequent …

A goal of modern dinosaur paleobiology is to synthesize the understanding of dinosaurian
development and phylogeny. This study explores the Iguanodontia, one clade that includes …

Although the basic structure of the vertebrate retina is similar across taxa, high variability in
specific features of the fish retina reflects the differences in visual microhabitat of these …

Event pairing has been proposed for the optimization of developmental sequences (event
sequences) on a given phylogenetic hypothesis (cladogram) to determine instances of …

Deep-sea octocorals are common habitat-formers in deep-sea ecosystems, however, our
knowledge on their early life history stages is extremely limited. The present study focuses …

The early development of the postcranial skeleton (pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, vertebral
column and fins) in pikeperch (Sander lucioperca (L.)) was studied from hatching to days 47 …

Morphological integration can respond to environmental conditions, a response that may be
dynamic through ontogeny. Among fishes, brook charrs (Salvelinus fontinalis) display a …

Environmental conditions such as temperature and water velocity may induce changes
among alternative developmental pathways, ie phenotypic responses, in vertebrates …
