The Origin of Vertebrate Gills
Pharyngeal gills are a fundamental feature of the vertebrate body plan [1]. However, the evolutionary history of vertebrate gills has been the subject of a long-standing controversy [2-8]. It is thought that gills evolved independently in cyclostomes (jawless vertebrates-lampreys and hagfish) and gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates-cartilaginous and bony fishes), based on their distinct embryonic o...
متن کاملThe origin of vertebrate limbs.
The earliest tetrapod limbs are polydactylous, morphologically varied and do not conform to an archetypal pattern. These discoveries, combined with the unravelling of limb developmental morphogenetic and regulatory mechanisms, have prompted a re-examination of vertebrate limb evolution. The rich fossil record of vertebrate fins/limbs, although restricted to skeletal tissues, exceeds the morphol...
متن کاملEvolutionary developmental studies of cyclostomes and the origin of the vertebrate neck.
Because they lack some gnathostome-specific traits, cyclostomes have often been regarded as representing an intermediate state linking non-vertebrate chordates and gnathostomes. To understand the evolutionary origins of the jaw and paired fins, lamprey embryos and larvae have been used as comparative models. The lack of the jaw-neck region is a conspicuous feature specific to cyclostomes; howev...
متن کاملEvolutionary origin of a functional gonadotropin in the pituitary of the most primitive vertebrate, hagfish.
Hagfish, which lack both jaws and vertebrae, are considered the most primitive vertebrate known, living or extinct. Hagfish have long been the enigma of vertebrate evolution not only because of their evolutionary position, but also because of our lack of knowledge on fundamental processes. Key elements of the reproductive endocrine system in hagfish have yet to be elucidated. Here, the presence...
