Abstract: We studied the evolution of opsin genes in 59 ray-finned fish genomes. We identified the opsin genes and adjacent genes (syntenies) in each genome. Then we inferred the changes in gene copy number (N), syntenies,… read more here.

Abstract: Life history and energetics of Actinopterygii are analysed using parameters and traits from the Add-my-Pet collection. Actinopterygii are the only vertebrate class that shows metabolic acceleration a short period after birth, and they are near… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evw288
Abstract: In a previous analysis of the phylogenetic relationships of coelacanths, lungfishes and tetrapods, using cartilaginous fish (CF) as the outgroup, the sister relationship of lungfishes and tetrapods was constructed with high statistical support. However, using… read more here.
