Amphibiousness in fishes spans the actinopterygian tree from the earliest to the most
recently derived species. The land environment requires locomotor force production different …

The mangrove rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus) is a phenotypically plastic teleost fish that
can spend considerable time on land and traverse the terrestrial realm through a behavior …

Most fishes known for terrestrial locomotion are small and/or elongate. Northern snakeheads
(Channa argus) are large, air-breathing piscivores anecdotally known for terrestrial …

Carrying a gravitational load requires modifications of the skeletal system during water-to-
land transition of vertebrates. Early stages of the transition are little known due to incomplete …

Teleost fishes that emerge onto land must produce effective terrestrial movements to return
to the water. Using the Cyprinodontiformes as a model system, we examined a terrestrial …

Many amphibious fishes rely on terrestrial locomotion to accomplish essential daily tasks,
but it is unknown whether terrestrial exercise improves the locomotor performance of fishes …

Fishes are generally considered to be fully aquatic, but some voluntarily strand themselves
on land to escape poor water conditions, predators, or to exploit terrestrial niches. The tail …

Neotropical suckermouth armored catfishes (Loricariidae) are known to exhibit terrestrial
behaviors, but these have been poorly described. The goals of this study are to describe (1) …

Amphibious fishes have many adaptations that make them successful in a wide variety of
conditions, including air-breathing, terrestrial locomotor capabilities, and extreme tolerance …

This special issue of The Anatomical Record explores extravagant adaptions that
vertebrates have evolved from their base groups to survive in the most challenging …
