It is widely acknowledged that the left and right hemispheres of human brains display both
anatomical and functional asymmetries. For more than a century, brain and behavioral …

How polymorphisms consisting in left–right asymmetries are produced and maintained in
natural populations is a tantalizing question, which remains largely unanswered. The scale …

Behavioral laterality is widely found among vertebrates, but has been little studied in aquatic
invertebrates. We examined behavioral laterality in attacks on prey shrimp by the cuttlefish …

Laterality has been studied in several vertebrates, mainly in terms of brain lateralization and
behavioral laterality, but morphological asymmetry has not been extensively investigated …

Vertebrates show left–right biases in turning direction, limb usage, predator-escape
response and use of sensory organs. In particular, some fishes are known to have lateral …

Many animals show lateral bias in various behaviors. In fish, behavioral laterality has been
studied from the perspective of its relation with brain lateralization. On the other hands, in …

Background Asymmetry in animal bodies and behavior has evolved several times, but our
knowledge of their linkage is limited. Tanganyikan scale-eating cichlids have well-known …

The inheritance patterns of asymmetry in mouth opening in zebrafish were investigated
using crossing experiments. Zebrafish exhibit asymmetric laterality in mouth opening, with …

The left–right asymmetry of scale‐eating T anganyikan cichlids is described as a unilateral
topographical shift of the quadratomandibular joints. This morphological laterality has a …

A Japanese piscivorous chub,“hasu”(Opsariichthys uncirostris), and its main prey,“ayu”(
Plecoglossus altivelis), both have laterally asymmetric bodies, similar to other fishes; each …
