DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-15868-7
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.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coac039
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.

Tanyrhinichthys mcallisteri, a long-rostrumed Pennsylvanian ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii) and the simultaneous appearance of novel ecomorphologies in Late Palaeozoic fishes

DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaa044
Abstract: The Carboniferous radiation of fishes was marked by the convergent appearance of then-novel but now common ecomorphologies resulting from changes in the relative proportions of traits, including elongation of the front of the skull (rostrum).… read more here.

An r package and online resource for macroevolutionary studies using the ray‐finned fish tree of life
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Methods in Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13182
Abstract: Comprehensive, time‐scaled phylogenies provide a critical resource for many questions in ecology, evolution and biodiversity. Methodological advances have increased the breadth of taxonomic coverage in phylogenetic data; however, accessing and reusing these data remain challenging.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.14179
Abstract: External and histological examination of the photophores of the linebelly swallower Pseudoscopelus sagamianus reveal three epidermal layers of cells that form the light-producing and light-transmitting components of the photophores. Photophores among the examined photophore tracts… read more here.

Fitting fangs in a finite face: A novel fang accommodation strategy in a 280‐million‐year‐old ray‐finned fish

DOI: 10.1111/joa.13798
Abstract: Though Paleozoic ray‐finned fishes are considered to be morphologically conservative, we report a novel mode of fang accommodation (i.e., the fitting of fangs inside the jaw) in the Permian actinopterygian †Brazilichthys macrognathus, whereby the teeth… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pala.12446
Abstract: Tooth replacement in vertebrates is extremely diverse, and its study in extinct taxa gives insights into the evolution of the different dental renewal modes. Based on μ‐CT scans of a left lower jaw of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.151183
Abstract: ABSTRACT Visual acuity (the ability to resolve spatial detail) is highly variable across fishes. However, little is known about the evolutionary pressures underlying this variation. We reviewed published literature to create an acuity database for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.189761
Abstract: ABSTRACT A major goal of sensory ecology is to identify factors that underlie sensory-trait variation. One open question centers on why fishes show the greatest diversity among vertebrates in their capacity to detect color (i.e.… read more here.
