… molecular data of several species ranging from bony fish to mammals, allow interesting
comparisons between humans and teleost fish… that have passed since the fish tetrapod split [1], [2]…

… of the eight to nine groups present in teleost fish, but large gene expansions in these two
groups generated OR repertoires an order of magnitude larger than those found in teleost fish. …

… fish as models for molecular evolution Electric organs (EOs) have evolved at least six times
in teleost and elasmobranch fish… (torpenid rays, uranoscopid teleosts, malapterurid catfish). …

… evolutionary changes in electric fish channels. We conclude that the diversity of EOD
waveforms in both groups of electric fish is correlated with accelerations in the rate of evolution of …

… fluid in various orders of teleost fish. Originally identified in the goldfish brain (in the ependymal …
not seem to be a problem derived from the pattern of molecular evolution of ependymin …

… teleosts have a slower rate of molecular evolution than mammals (Cantatore et al. 1994 ). Our
results indicate that the molecular evolutionary … reduced than that in teleosts. About 86% of …

… that the large number of fish species and their tremendous morphological diversity might
be causally related to a genome duplication event that is specific to the teleost lineage [14–21]. …

… nuclear molecular markers, we propose that the fish-specific genome duplication event
took place between the split of the Semionotiformes (Lepisosteus platyrhynchus) from the fish …

… in the muscle in nonelectric teleosts. Like mammals, fish have a diversity of muscle fiber types…
Multiple lineages of teleost fish have independently evolved sonic communication systems …

… Comparison of data generated by current and future genome projects as well as
complementary studies in other species will allow one to approach the molecular and evolutionary …
