Habitat influences skeletal morphology and density in the snailfishes (family Liparidae)
Abstract We tested the hypothesis that deep-sea fishes have poorly mineralized bone relative to shallower-dwelling species using data from a single family that spans a large depth range. The family Liparidae (snailfishes, Cottiformes) has representatives across the entire habitable depth range for b...
