Decoding the Little Skate Retina: Structural Variants and Developmental Dynamics
… Elasmobranchs (the superclass comprising sharks, skates and rays) is a poorly understood phenomenon, but it represents a critical component of the broader picture of vertebrate visual development. Evolutionary divergence between these organisms and the mammals is vast, with the last common …

Exploring the TE landscape of elephant and CR1 accumulation, evolution and effects of selection in the class Chondrichthyes
… from the class Chondrichthyes (elephant shark, little skate and whale shark). They showed different patterns of CR1 accumulation in each genome. The whale shark genome consists of ~16% of its genome as CR1, while the little skate and elephant shark showed that 9% and 4% of their genomes were …

The evolution and function of pharyngeal arch signalling centres in jawed vertebrates
… gill slit formation in a cartilaginous fish, the little skate (Leucoraja erinacea). Once formed, skate gill arches expand laterally, and give rise to cartilaginous appendages called branchial rays, which develop under the influence of a Shh-expressing signalling centre called the gill arch …

Axial patterning of the chondrichthyan pharyngeal endoskeleton and the origin of the jaw
… the skeletal anatomy of chondrichthyans (sharks, skates and holocephalans), but remain largely untested from a developmental perspective. Here, I test 1) whether jaws and gill arches ancestrally shared common developmental patterning mechanisms, and 2) whether the mandibular arch might carry …
