Life history and ossification patterns in Miguashaia bureaui reveal the early evolution of osteogenesis in coelacanths
The study of development is critical for revealing the evolution of major vertebrate lineages. Coelacanths have one of the longest evolutionary histories among osteichthyans, but despite access to extant representatives, the onset of their weakly ossified endoskeleton is still poorly understood. Her...
