Evolution
. 2016 Feb;
70(3):555-67.
PMID: 26899988
Major morphological transformations, such as the evolution of elongate body shape in vertebrates, punctuate evolutionary history. A fundamental step in understanding the processes that give rise to such transformations is...

J Exp Zool A Ecol Genet Physiol
. 2015 Oct;
325(1):25-40.
PMID: 26499994
Fishes are particularly sensitive to the effects of environmental conditions during early development, which can significantly impact adult morphology, performance, and survival. Previous research has highlighted the sensitivity of fishes...

Zoology (Jena)
. 2015 Oct;
118(6):394-402.
PMID: 26489369
Environmental conditions during early development in ectothermic vertebrates can lead to variation in vertebral number among individuals of the same species. It is often seen that individuals of a species...

Zoology (Jena)
. 2015 Jul;
118(5):312-9.
PMID: 26165693
Despite the physical differences between water and air, a number of fish lineages are known to make terrestrial excursions on land. Many of these fishes exhibit an elongate body plan....

Ward A, Mehta R
Zoology (Jena)
. 2013 Dec;
117(1):70-6.
PMID: 24364904
The postcranial system is composed of the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton, which consists of serially repeating segments commonly known as vertebrae, protects and provides leverage for movement...

Zoology (Jena)
. 2013 Jun;
116(4):246-57.
PMID: 23746908
Vertebrates exhibit tremendous diversity in body shape, though quantifying this variation has been challenging. In the past, researchers have used simplified metrics that either describe overall shape but reveal little...

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
. 2011 Nov;
295(2):289-97.
PMID: 22095903
Elongate body forms have evolved numerous times independently within Vertebrata. Such body forms have evolved in large part via changes to the vertebral column, either through addition or lengthening of...
