DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21548
Abstract: Batoids differ from other elasmobranch fishes in that they possess dorsoventrally flattened bodies with enlarged muscled pectoral fins. Most batoids also swim using either of two modes of locomotion: undulation or oscillation of the pectoral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.09.002
Abstract: Affiliative interspecies interactions are important to community structure within an ecosystem yet understudied relative to antagonistic relationships. Mixed-species associations provide important benefits via foraging, predator avoidance and social interactions. Tactile behaviours help with social bond… read more here.

BMP Signaling Gradient Scaling in the Zebrafish Pectoral Fin
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Cell Reports"
DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2020.03.024
Abstract: Summary Secreted growth factors can act as morphogens that form spatial concentration gradients in developing organs, thereby controlling growth and patterning. For some morphogens, adaptation of the gradients to tissue size allows morphological patterns to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btab201
Abstract: MOTIVATION Understanding the mechanisms by which the zebrafish pectoral fin develops is expected to produce insights on how vertebrate limbs grow from a 2D cell layer to a 3D structure. Two mechanisms have been proposed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jai.13863
Abstract: The effect of two feeding rates (0.5 and 1.5% of total body weight) was assessed on the growth of pectoral fin spines of captive juvenile great sturgeon, Huso huso, after second year of life. The… read more here.

Batoid locomotion: effects of speed on pectoral fin deformation in the little skate, Leucoraja erinacea
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Experimental Biology"
DOI: 10.1242/jeb.148767
Abstract: ABSTRACT Most batoids have a unique swimming mode in which thrust is generated by either oscillating or undulating expanded pectoral fins that form a disc. Only one previous study of the freshwater stingray has quantified… read more here.
