Evolutionary transitions from water to land are infrequent. The physical contrasts between
these media are amplified by biological differences in the patterns of selection. A new …

The systematicness, flexibility, and complexity of natural biological organisms are a constant
stream of inspiration for researchers. Therefore, mimicking the natural intelligence system to …

Fish mitochondrial genome have been largely studied worldwide for evolutionary and other
genetic purposes and the structure and gene organization are commonly conservative …

The water-to-land transition is one of the most important events in evolutionary history of
vertebrates. However, the genetic basis underlying many of the adaptations during this …

Amblyopinae is one of the lineage of bony fish that preserves amphibious traits living in tidal
mudflat habitats. In contrast to other active amphibious fish, Amblyopinae species adopt a …

Colonisation of novel habitats are important events in evolution, but the factors that initially
prompt such ecological transitions are often unknown. The invasion of land by fish is an …

Mudskippers are a group of amphibious fishes in the family Oxudercidae, whose species
inhabit a range of habitats from mostly aquatic to mostly terrestrial. Most of our …

Because adult and juvenile eel gobies usually hide within the burrows of muddy substrates,
their diversity and life history have not yet been fully elucidated. We investigated larval …

Oxudercine gobies include fully aquatic to highly terrestrial species. In this study, we
investigated the anatomy of the feeding apparatus of two species, Parapocryptes …

Stomach loss has occurred independently multiple times during gnathostome evolution with
notable frequency within the Teleostei. Significantly, this loss of acid-peptic digestion has …
