Why are fish getting smaller as waters warm? It's not their gills Date: February 21, 2024 Source: University of Massachusetts Amherst Summary: A collaborative team of scientists recently found ...

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.

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

The fish's blood pH initially fell by 1.2 units, but after just a few hours their gills were able to correct this by bringing in bicarbonate ions from the surrounding water.

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.

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 ...

The middle ear of humans evolved from fish gills, according to a study of a 438 million-year-old fossil fish brain. Scientists discovered the fossil of the braincase of a Shuyu fish.

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 ...
