A frog adaptive radiation: Ecomorphological evolution in Old-World shrub frogs (Rhacophoridae: Pseudophilautus)

M. Meegaskumbura, G. Ellepola, G. Senevirathne, K. Manamendra-Arachchi, N. Wijayathilaka, M. R. Pie, D. Sun, R. Pethiyagoda, C. J. Schneider

This study identifies five ecomorphological categories in Pseudophilautus shrub frogs, showing body size and specific traits correlate with habitat type and that ecomorphs evolved multiple times in response to climate changes.

Salamander-like tail regeneration in the West African lungfish

K. M. Verissimo, L. N. Perez, A. C. Dragalzew, G. Senevirathne, S. Darnet, W. R. Mendes, C. A. Neves, E. M. dos Santos, C. N. Moraes, A. Elewa, N. H. Shubin, N. B. Froebisch, J. F. Sousa, I. Schneider

This study shows that the West African lungfish regenerates tails with features similar to tetrapods, including spinal cord regeneration and Shh signaling, and identifies shared genetic programs with amphibians and lizards.

The evolutionary origins and diversity of the neuromuscular system of paired appendages in batoids

N. Turner, D. Mikalauskaite, K. Barone, K. Flaherty, G. Senevirathne, N. Adachi, N. Shubin, T. Nakamura

This study investigates the developmental and evolutionary origins of neuromuscular systems in batoid fish, finding that paired fin muscles evolved from redeployed genetic programs involved in dorsal fin development.
