Trinajstic K, Long J, Sanchez S, Boisvert C, Snitting D, Tafforeau P, et al.
Science . 2023 May; 380(6645):eadg3748. PMID: 37167391
Jensen . () question evidence presented of a chambered heart within placoderms, citing its small size and apparently ventral atrium. However, they fail to note the belly-up orientation of the...

Pears J, Tillett C, Tahara R, Larsson H, Trinajstic K, Boisvert C
J Dev Biol . 2022 Dec; 10(4). PMID: 36547475
Pelvic girdles, fins and claspers are evolutionary novelties first recorded in jawed vertebrates. Over the course of the evolution of chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fish) two trends in the morphology of the...

Trinajstic K, Long J, Sanchez S, Boisvert C, Snitting D, Tafforeau P, et al.
Science . 2022 Sep; 377(6612):1311-1314. PMID: 36107996
The origin and early diversification of jawed vertebrates involved major changes to skeletal and soft anatomy. Skeletal transformations can be examined directly by studying fossil stem gnathostomes; however, preservation of...

Barr J, Boisvert C, Trinajstic K, Bateman P
Sci Rep . 2022 Apr; 12(1):7051. PMID: 35488011
Many lizard species use caudal autotomy, the ability to self-amputate a portion of the tail, as an effective but costly survival strategy. However, as a lizard grows, its increased size...

Barr J, Boisvert C, Bateman P
J Dev Biol . 2021 Dec; 9(4). PMID: 34940500
Caudal autotomy, the ability to shed a portion of the tail, is a widespread defence strategy among lizards. Following caudal autotomy, and during regeneration, lizards face both short- and long-term...

Pears J, Johanson Z, Trinajstic K, Dean M, Boisvert C
Front Genet . 2020 Dec; 11:571694. PMID: 33329708
Members of the Chondrichthyes (Elasmobranchii and Holocephali) are distinguished by their largely cartilaginous endoskeletons, which comprise an uncalcified core overlain by a mineralized layer; in the Elasmobranchii (sharks, skates, rays)...

Barr J, Boisvert C, Somaweera R, Trinajstic K, Bateman P
Sci Rep . 2019 Dec; 9(1):18717. PMID: 31822746
Many species of lizard use caudal autotomy, the ability to self-amputate a portion of their tail, regenerated over time, as an effective anti-predation mechanism. The importance of this tactic for...

Bishop P, Walmsley C, Phillips M, Quayle M, Boisvert C, McHenry C
PLoS One . 2015 May; 10(5):e0125723. PMID: 25938463
The origin of terrestrial tetrapods was a key event in vertebrate evolution, yet how and when it occurred remains obscure, due to scarce fossil evidence. Here, we show that the...

Boisvert C, Martins C, Edmunds A, Cocks J, Currie P
Zoo Biol . 2014 Nov; 34(1):94-8. PMID: 25400285
Elephant sharks (Callorhinchus milii) have the slowest evolving genome of all vertebrates and are an interesting model species for evolution research and a prized display animal. However, their deep water...

Cole N, Hall T, Don E, Berger S, Boisvert C, Neyt C, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2011 Oct; 9(10):e1001168. PMID: 21990962
Locomotor strategies in terrestrial tetrapods have evolved from the utilisation of sinusoidal contractions of axial musculature, evident in ancestral fish species, to the reliance on powerful and complex limb muscles...
