Biochemical regulation of pigment motility in vertebrate chromatophores: a review of physiological color change mechanisms
The fundamental unit of rapid, physiological color change in vertebrates is the dermal chromatophore unit. This unit, comprised of cellular associations between different chromatophore types, is relatively conserved across the fish, amphibian, and reptilian species capable of physiological color change and numerous attempts have been made to understand the nature of the four major chromatophore...
متن کاملThe developmental specification of the vertebrate skull.
The initial form of the embryonic bony skull is determined in two ways; cranially, by the relative growth of the developing brain, and facially, by the chondrocranium. Both are essentially acting as structural templates around which the bony components of the skull are assembled. Assuming, therefore, that the specification of form and pattern in the facial skeleton occurs at the formation of th...
متن کاملDevelopmental Paleobiology of the Vertebrate Skeleton.
Studies of the development of organisms can reveal crucial information on homology of structures. Developmental data are not peculiar to living organisms, and they are routinely preserved in the mineralized tissues that comprise the vertebrate skeleton, allowing us to obtain direct insight into the developmental evolution of this most formative of vertebrate innovations. The pattern of developm...
متن کاملDevelopmental Constraints on Vertebrate Genome Evolution
Constraints in embryonic development are thought to bias the direction of evolution by making some changes less likely, and others more likely, depending on their consequences on ontogeny. Here, we characterize the constraints acting on genome evolution in vertebrates. We used gene expression data from two vertebrates: zebrafish, using a microarray experiment spanning 14 stages of development, ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Signalling: Vertebrate ligands for Notch
Newly discovered potential ligands for the Notch family of cell-cell signaling receptors illuminate the importance of lateral signaling during development and promise to help unravel signal transduction by Notch. During embryonic development, a cell's fate is determined by an interplay of environmental signals and heredity. Studies of invertebrates have identified a type of environmental signal...
