Expanded olfactory system in ray-finned fishes capable of terrestrial exploration

Abstract Background Smell abilities differ greatly among vertebrate species due to distinct sensory needs, with exceptional variability reported in the number of olfactory genes and the size of the odour-processing regions of the brain. However, key environmental factors shaping genomic and phenotyp...
