AbstractThe usefulness of ecoregions and catchments (hydrologic units) as bases for classifying aquatic vertebrate assemblages in western Oregon was compared using samples collected by electrofishing ...
The interrelationships between major living vertebrate, and even chordate, groups are now reasonably well resolved thanks to a large amount of generally congruent data derived from molecular sequences ...
Vertebrates diverged from other chordates ~500 Myr ago and experienced successful innovations and adaptations, but the genomic basis underlying vertebrate origins are not fully understood. Here we ...
Vertebrates have extremely different brain sizes: even with the same body size, brain size can vary a hundredfold. As a rule, ...

The fossil of an ancient sea squirt found in a collection at the Utah Museum of Natural History turned out to be the oldest of its kind. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
Hourglass treefrog (Dendropsophus ebraccatus). Amphibians, which face some of the steepest declines worldwide, saw some of the biggest benefits to living in protected lands. (Credit: Justin Nowakowski ...
A major event in vertebrate evolution was the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life, made possible by the emergence of new structures such as limbs and the neck. In an article published in ...
