Unlike other
vertebrates, they have several genes for the light-sensitive photopigment rhodopsin, which likely enables these fish to detect bioluminescent signals from light-emitting organs.
He explained that his team's project aimed at filling a 30-million-year gap in the late Cretaceous fossil record of Africa, from which very few fossils of land-living
vertebrates are known, adding further that the dinosaur's name "honours both Mansoura University and Mona Shahin for her integral role in developing the MUVP.
The author explains how the
vertebrate brain regulates behavior, by sharing his research on how hormones act on specific nerve cell groups to determine behavioral response.
The blades, called gnathal plates, looked so peculiar that most scientists thought that the three-part jaw originated in an early bony fish and that placoderms were just a side branch in the
vertebrate family tree.
90 / 98) from April 2000 through December 2012 to assess the numbers of
vertebrate animals killed by vehicular traffic.
Since Fredholm (1988a, 1988b), little has been done in
vertebrate taxonomy on Gotland.
Larger
vertebrates (carnivores, cervids) were little affected initially.
It is the most primitive
vertebrate discovered with a modern jaw, and includes a bone found in humans.
Previous
Vertebrate Survey Work in Central Georgia: Although the diversity of small mammals in central Georgia is relatively well documented (3), (4), few have reported the occurrence of amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals.
The field of immunology, however, quickly turned almost exclusively to the study of
vertebrate models--a sharp contrast to other areas of biology that retained a significant comparative component (e.g., developmental biology and physiology).
This article presents a
vertebrate anatomy lab that involves a guided inquiry approach.
