Most bony vertebrate species display a great evolutionary stability of their two neurohypophysial hormones, so that two molecular lineages, isotocin-mesotocin-oxytocin and vasotocin-vasopressin, have been traced from bony fishes to mammals. Chondrichthyes, in contrast, show a striking diversity of t

## Abstract The transport physiology of the urinary bladder of both the freshwater rainbow trout (__Oncorhychus mykiss__) and the marine gulf toadfish (__Opsanus beta__) was characterized with respect to urea, and the suitability of the urinary bladder as a model for renal urea handling was investi
## Abstract There is increasing evidence that urea movement across many epithelia involves more than passive diffusion. Of particular interest is the observation that urea transport across the erythrocyte membrane and across the vasopressinβstimulated urinary bladder of the toad occurs by facilitat
## 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
