Abstract

Simple amputation of various combinations of hindlimb digits of Notophthalmus viridescens resulted in a variety of abnormal regenerates. The abnormalities included the formation of adventitious digits and branched digits, fusion between digits, and increases and decreases in the normal number of phalanges. The type of abnormality was correlated with the proximal‐distal level of amputation and with the identity of the digits removed. These results are discussed in the context of a model for normal digit formation. An important feature of this model is that the normal regeneration of separate digits is dependent upon precise and orderly interactions between different parts of the limb circumference. In the experiments we report, the disruption of these orderly interactions leads to a variety of abnormalities. In addition, the model for digit formation presented here is discussed in light of its implications for evolutionary trends in the tetrapod limb.

In this study, we were able to regenerate cirri following artificial amputation. This is the first firm observation of regeneration in amphioxus. Using this reg

## Abstract Lampreys possess unique types of cartilage in which elastin‐like proteins are the dominant matrix component, whereas gnathostome cartilage is mainly composed of fibrillar collagen. Despite the differences in protein composition, the __Sox__–__col2a1__ genetic cascade was suggested to be
