It turns out the human ear got off to a fishy start. Literally. A fascinating new study reveals that the mammalian outer ear ...

For nearly 20 years, Sunyer's lab has contributed a steady stream of discovery regarding the evolution and roles of the immune system using fish as model species.

In tadpoles, both human ear and fish gill enhancers showed activity in their gills. In lizards, a related program was active in a small bone-like structure in their middle ears.

In teleost fish the gills perform—in addition to respiration—functions such as immune defence. Here the authors show that IgT, a teleost specific Ig previously shown to be involved in gut and ...

Biologists find no link between fish size and gill surface area—study suggests that models underlying some projections of future fisheries yields need to be reconsidered AMHERST, Mass. – A ...

Humans' outer ears may have evolved from the gills of prehistoric fish, a new study finds.. Gene-editing experiments indicate that cartilage in fish gills migrated into the ear canal millions of years ...

Baby Japanese eels have been spotted escaping from the stomachs of fish that have eaten them by backing out tail-first, as if moonwalking, first out of their esophagus and then their gills ...

After they were swallowed, all but four of the eels tried to get out by going back through the fish’s digestive tract toward its esophagus and gills. Of those, 13 managed to get their tails out ...

Gene-editing experiments indicate that cartilage in fish gills migrated into the ear canal millions of years ago during the course of our evolution.Going even further back, our outer ears may have ...
