Fish Lateral Line Innovation: Insights into the Evolutionary Genomic ...
WEBJul 27, 2012 · The mechanosensory lateral line, found only in fishes and amphibians, is an important sense organ associated with aquatic life. Lateral line patterns differ among teleost, the most diverse vertebrate taxa, hypothetically in response to selective pressures from different aquatic habitats.
The evolution and development of vertebrate lateral line ...
WEBJul 1, 2013 · Summary. Electroreception is an ancient vertebrate sense with a fascinating evolutionary history involving multiple losses as well as independent evolution at least twice within teleosts. We review the phylogenetic distribution of electroreception and the morphology and innervation of electroreceptors in different vertebrate groups.
The Development and Evolution of Lateral Line Electroreceptors ...
WEBNov 14, 2019 · This chapter briefly reviews this sensory system and describes our current understanding of the development of nonteleost lateral line electroreceptors, both in terms of their embryonic origin from lateral line placodes and at the molecular level.
The cephalic lateral-line system of Characiformes (Teleostei ...
WEBOct 17, 2019 · The lateral-line system has been traditionally recognized as an important source of phylogenetic information for different groups of fishes. Although extensively studied in Siluriformes and Cypriniformes, the lateral-line system of Characiformes remained underexplored.
The evolution and development of vertebrate lateral line ...
WEBJul 1, 2013 · We summarise recent work from our laboratory that has confirmed the homology of ampullary electroreceptors in non-teleost jawed vertebrates by showing, in conjunction with previously published work, that these are derived embryonically from lateral line placodes.
Diversity of Lateral Line Systems: Evolutionary and Functional ...
WEBThe lateral line system is the only sensory system unique to aquatic vertebrates, being restricted to fish and some aquatic amphibians. It contains at least two, and probably three, different receptor classes: ciliated mechanoreceptors, electroreceptors, and a largely unknown group of receptors called the vesicles of Savi , found only in ...
Fish lateral line innovation: insights into the evolutionary …
WEBIn this article, we conduct evolutionary genomic analyses of 34 genes associated with lateral line system development in teleosts to elucidate the significance of contrasting evolutionary rates and changes in the protein coding sequences.
The evolution of the amphibian lateral line system and its bearing …
WEBFossil evidence indicates that early amphibians had both ampullary organs and single rows of neuromasts embedded in bone. With time, receptors became epidermal in all three orders. Modern caecilians have retained the primitive receptor arrangement.
Development and evolution of lateral line placodes in …
WEBJan 1, 2002 · The amphibian lateral line system develops from a series of lateral line placodes. The different phases of development from early induction, to pattern formation, differentiation, morphogenesis, and metamorphic fate were summarized in the first part of this review (Schlosser, 2002a).
Evolution of the connection patterns of the cephalic lateral line …
WEBDec 4, 2017 · The objectives of the present study are to: (a) describe the connecting patterns of the cephalic lateral line canal system in the opsariichthyins, (b) provide diagnostic characters for the opsariichthyin species, (c) discuss the evolution of the connecting patterns observed.
