The study of the origin and evolution of the tetrapod limb has benefited enormously from the confluence of molecular and paleontological data. In the last two decades, our knowledge of the basic molecular mechanisms that control limb development has grown exponentially, and developmental biologists
A reconstruction of the anagenetic transformations from fins to tetrapod limbs is represented considering the self-evident mechanical constraints which must have limited the construction and thus the function and the transformation.
## Abstract Urodele amphibians have been widely used for studies of limb regeneration. In this article, we review studies on blastema cell proliferation and propose a model of blastemal selfβorganization and patterning. The model is based on local cell interactions that intercalate positional ident
Wrists, ankles and digits distinguish tetrapod limbs from fins, but direct evidence on the origin of these features has been unavailable. Here we describe the pectoral appendage of a member of the sister group of tetrapods, Tiktaalik roseae, which is morphologically and functionally transitional bet
