## Abstract Sometime before or during the early Mesozoic era, new lineages of actinopterygian (rayβfinned) fishes radically transformed their mode of gastrulation. During this evolutionary transformation, yolky endoderm was a hotspot for ontogenetic change. As holoblastic cleavage patterns were mod

## Abstract In this study, I compare the morphology from the pectoral fin rays from the benthic longhorn sculpin (__Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus__) to those from a species that does not use its fins for substrate contact, the yellow perch (__Perca flavescens__). I use CT scanning technology to c
## Abstract Recent and fossil fishes may be divided into groups having both pectoral and pelvic fins, pectorals only, pelvics only, or with a second pair of fins located anteriorly and seemingly not homologous with pelvics. In some groups the pelvics are located near the cloaca, with an extensive h
