Cyclostome embryology and early evolutionary history of vertebrates.
Modern agnathans include only two groups, the lampreys and the hagfish, that collectively comprise the group Cyclostomata. Although accumulating molecular data support the cyclostomes as a monophyletic group, there remain some unsettled questions regarding the evolutionary relationships of these animals in that they differ greatly in anatomical and developmental patterns and in their life histo...
متن کاملDiscriminating signal from noise in the fossil record of early vertebrates reveals cryptic evolutionary history
The fossil record of early vertebrates has been influential in elucidating the evolutionary assembly of the gnathostome bodyplan. Understanding of the timing and tempo of vertebrate innovations remains, however, mired in a literal reading of the fossil record. Early jawless vertebrates (ostracoderms) exhibit restriction to shallow-water environments. The distribution of their stratigraphic occu...
متن کاملThe Early Evolutionary History of Birds
With more than 10,000 species—roughly twice as many as there are mammals or lizards—birds are by far the most diverse group of living land vertebrates. However, this enormous diversity is just a remnant of an ancient evolutionary radiation that can be traced back to the Jurassic, to the 150 million-year-old Archaeopteryx from southern Germany. Research on the early history of birds and the deve...
متن کاملGenome duplications of early vertebrates as a possible chronicle of the evolutionary history of the neural crest
It is now accepted that ancestral vertebrates underwent two rounds of genome duplication. Here we test the possible utility of these genome duplication events as a reference time for the evolutionary history of vertebrates, by tracing the molecular evolutionary history of the genes involved in vertebrate neural crest development. For most transcription factors that are involved in neural crest ...
متن کاملEarly Embryology of the Chick
aTlhe first edlition of this book appeared in 1920. I uised the tllir(l edition as an undergraduate studenlt in an embryology course in 1946. As a student I found the book to be excellent. In the laboratory portion of the course I found tlle il-lulstrations to be a perfect guide as I studied the living dleveloping chick embryo. Nearly all of the illustrations were drawn by Dr. Patten from direc...
