Evolution of the vertebrate skeleton: morphology, embryology, and development
T Hirasawa, S Kuratani - Zoological Letters, 2015 - Springer
Two major skeletal systems—the endoskeleton and exoskeleton—are recognized in
vertebrate evolution. Here, we propose that these two systems are distinguished primarily by …
