A rich diversity of opercle bone shape among teleost fishes
The opercle is a prominent craniofacial bone supporting the gill cover in all bony fish and has been the subject of morphological, developmental, and genetic investigation. We surveyed the shapes of this bone among 110 families spanning the teleost tree and examined its pattern of occupancy in a principal component-based morphospace. Contrasting with expectations from the literature that sugges...
متن کاملTeleost Fishes
The ulstrastructure of the saccular and lagenar maculae were studied in 15 species of teleost fishes, using the scanning electron microscope. Particular attention was paid to hair cell orientation patterns, composition of the ciliary bundles on the hair cells, hair cell distributions, and supporting cell types. The hair cells on both otolithic organs are divided into several groups with all of ...
متن کاملClaudins in teleost fishes
Teleost fishes are a large and diverse animal group that represent close to 50% of all described vertebrate species. This review consolidates what is known about the claudin (Cldn) family of tight junction (TJ) proteins in teleosts. Cldns are transmembrane proteins of the vertebrate epithelial/endothelial TJ complex that largely determine TJ permeability. Cldns achieve this by expressing barrie...
متن کاملStructural diversity in the inner ear of teleost fishes: implications for connections to the Mauthner cell.
A body of literature suggests that the Mauthner cell startle response can be elicited by stimulation of the ear. While we know that there are projections to the M-cell from the ear, the specific endorgan(s) of the ear projecting to the M-cell are not known. Moreover, there are many reasons to question whether there is one pattern of inner ear to M-cell connection or whether the endorgan(s) proj...
متن کاملMicroevolution and the Genetic Basis of Vertebrate Diversity: Examples from Teleost Fishes
Great transformations among the vertebrates can only be appreciated and understood by elucidating the microtransformational mechanisms responsible for form and function. However, when studying major transformations that occurred many millions of years ago, we have limited access to the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes. For example, evolutionary biologists can only dream of using co...
