Hot off the presses! I reviewed the history of early ray-finned fishes, with a focus on their morphology, fossil record, and taxonomy. My principal goal is a guide for other workers to make the rich record of early actinopterygian evolution more broadly available. dx.doi.org/10.1002/jmor...

The Evolutionary History of Early Ray‐Finned Fishes (Pan‐Actinopterygii)
Ray-finned fishes, the most diverse living vertebrate clade, include over 600 extinct early actinopterygian species whose evolution is an enigma.

Excited to see our lab’s latest work out today in npj Regenerative Medicine! 🎉 Canonical mTOR signaling can support complete fin regeneration, suggesting that salamander-specific mTOR hypersensitivity is an evolutionary novelty. Kudos @josanesousa.bsky.social and amazing team! tinyurl.com/f74w7syr

Preprint out! Salamanders harbor a hypersensitive mTOR, thought to enable their remarkable limb regeneration. But do you need a special mTOR to regrow appendages? In Polypterus, we find that a canonical mTOR pathway supports full appendage regeneration. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Previously we had shown that axolotl tail regeneration occurs in the absence of somitogenesis. In the updated manuscript we propose that vertebral segmentation during tail regeneration occurs through a process of buckling instability. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
