Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo
morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions,“metamorphoses,” as they progress …

This chapter reviews and synthesises knowledge on reproduction and recruitment in estuary‐
dependent and estuary‐associated fishes. Resident and migrating species (anadromous …

The zebrafish is a premier model organism yet lacks a system for assigning postembryonic
fish to developmental stages. To provide such a staging series, we describe postembryonic …

Models of larval dispersal rarely incorporate the behavior of larvae, yet many potential
settlers of marine invertebrates and fishes may navigate toward suitable settlement sites by …

Contemporary research in the field of evolutionary developmental biology, or'evo-devo', has
to date been predominantly devoted to interpreting basic features of animal architecture in …

Pigment patterns of fishes are a tractable system for studying the genetic and cellular bases
for postembryonic phenotypes. In the zebrafish Danio rerio, neural crest-derived pigment …

Lack of knowledge of early and juvenile development often makes it difficult to decide when
a fish becomes a juvenile or, for that matter, a definitive phenotype. According to the …

Morphological, physiological, behavioral, and developmental studies of the
mechanosensory lateral line system are used to define sources of morphological and …

Vertebrate pigment cells are derived from neural crest cells and are a useful system for
studying neural crest-derived traits during post-embryonic development. In zebrafish, neural …

The genetic and developmental bases for trait expression and variation in adults are largely
unknown. One system in which genes and cell behaviors underlying adult traits can be …
