Homology of the fifth epibranchial and accessory elements of the ceratobranchials among gnathostomes: insights from the development of ostariophysans.

Homology of the fifth epibranchial and accessory elements of the ceratobranchials among gnathostomes: insights from the development of ostariophysans.

Epibranchials are among the main dorsal elements of the gill basket in jawed vertebrates (Gnathostomata). Among extant fishes, chondrichthyans most resemble the putative ancestral condition as all branchial arches possess every serially homologous piece. In osteichthyans, a primitive rod-like epibra...
