A comparison of the innate and adaptive immune systems in cartilaginous fish, ray-finned fish, and lobe-finned fish
NC Smith, ML Rise, SL Christian - Frontiers in immunology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
The immune system is composed of two subsystems—the innate immune system and the
adaptive immune system. The innate immune system is the first to respond to pathogens and …

Primate phylogenetic relationships and divergence dates inferred from complete mitochondrial genomes
The origins and the divergence times of the most basal lineages within primates have been
difficult to resolve mainly due to the incomplete sampling of early fossil taxa. The main …
