Bichir external gills arise via heterochronic shift that accelerates hyoid arch development

Bichir external gills arise via heterochronic shift that accelerates hyoid arch development

In most vertebrates, pharyngeal arches form in a stereotypic anterior-to-posterior progression. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying evolutionary changes in pharyngeal arch development, here we investigate embryos and larvae of bichirs. Bichirs represent the earliest diverged living group...
