Endocrinology of Complex Life Cycles: Amphibians
Microbial Evolution: Stalking the Wild Bacterial Species
Evolution of Thyroid Enhancement of Embryogenesis and Early Survival
TLDR
This parental relationship appears to be the most likely evolutionary basis for emergence of the vertebrate thyroid endocrine system, and its critically important development-promoting actions in larval and (later) fetal ontogeny.
Quirks of Human Anatomy: An Evo-Devo Look at the Human Body
TLDR
This paper presents a meta-anatomy of the midline, a probabilistic model of the structure of the nervous system that combines determinants of infectious disease, as well as some examples of other types of medicine.
Metamorphosis and the regenerative capacity of spinal cord axons in Xenopus laevis
TLDR
It is demonstrated that changes in gene expression occur within regenerating neurons in response to axotomy under regenerationā€permissive conditions in which normal development has been suspended, and candidate genes for future studies of how central nervous system axons can successfully regenerate in some vertebrates are identified.

The Changes in the Frog Gut Microbiome and Its Putative Oxygen-Related Phenotypes Accompanying the Development of Gastrointestinal Complexity and Dietary Shift
TLDR
It is found that the remodeling and complexity of the gastrointestinal system during metamorphosis might have a profound effect on the gut microbial community and its putative oxygen-related phenotypes and this basic information is provided for the amphibian conservation and managements.

TLDR
Using an in vitro system for the culture of the flounder fin rays, this work examined how various hormones affect the resorption process and monitored the changes in the whole body concentrations of various hormones during early development and metamorphosis.

Thyroid hormones determine developmental mode in sand dollars (Echinodermata: Echinoidea)
TLDR
It is hypothesize that thyroxine plays a major role in echinoderm metamorphosis and the evolution of life history transitions in this group, emphasizing the role of egg size, juvenile size, and endogenous hormone production for the Evolution of nonfeeding larval development.
Thyroxine-Accelerated Larval Development in the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish, Acanthaster planci.
TLDR
It is reported here that thyroxine, which accelerates development in three sea urchin species, also accelerates Acanthaster's developmental progress through larval stages and that this acceleration is concentration dependent.
Overlapping expression of amphioxus homologs of the thyroid transcription factor-1 gene and thyroid peroxidase gene in the endostyle: insight into evolution of the thyroid gland
TLDR
Investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation and function of the endostyle and coexpression of these genes in amphioxus suggests that regulation of TPO by TTF-1 was present in the common ancestor of cephalochordates (acraniates) and craniates.
A correlation of thyroid hormone receptor gene expression with amphibian metamorphosis.
TLDR
Up-regulation of TR beta mRNA is the earliest response to exogenous TH by competent tadpoles yet detected and up-regulates TR alpha mRNA by approximately 2-fold during the same period.
Tunicates and not cephalochordates are the closest living relatives of vertebrates
TLDR
It is shown that phylogenetic analyses of the genome sequencing of the appendicularian Oikopleura dioica provide compelling evidence that tunicates, and not cephalochordates, represent the closest living relatives of vertebrates.
