Genome duplication in the teleost fish Tetraodon nigroviridis reveals the early vertebrate proto-karyotype. Nature 431: 946-957.
Paterson, A.H., Bowers, J. E., Van de Peer, Y. & Vandepoele, K. (2005). Ancient duplication of cereal genomes.
Modern teleost fish appeared during the Cretaceous and may have competed for the same prey as the ammonites. The teleost fish were apparently stronger and swifter swimmers than the fish of the Jurassic.
His research interest is in developmental genetics; he and his group have discovered a genome duplication event that occurred before the vast radiation of teleost fish, which account for half of all species of vertebrates.
Bony fish (teleosts) have an operculum over their gills and they swallow water and force it over their gills and out the operculum. As we said, frogs swallow air.
homocercal A tail with the upper and lower lobes symmetrical and the vertebral column ending near the middle of the base, as in most teleost fishes.
homodont Having a series of similar, unspecialized teeth.
homodont Having all teeth similar in form.
[Gr. epi - on, upon; Gr. bole - a throw]. The movement of the animal pole blastomeres over and encompassing the vegetal hemisphere blastomeres that occurs in the embryo at the beginning of gastrulation in some amphibians and teleosts.
