Evolutionary innovation in the vertebrae jaw: A derived morphology in anuran tadpoles and its possible developmental origin
Article Abstract:
The investigation of the novel articulation within the anuran tadpole mouth apparatus should be conducted with respect to the expression of genes known to be involved in jaw joint formation. The origin of the anuran tadpole jaw apparatus would be crucial in making the anurans the group of extant amphibians richest in species and could therefore provide an example of an evolutionary key example.

The evolutionary origins and significance of vertebrate left-right organisation
Article Abstract:
Our outwardly bilaterally symmetrical form hides a systematic left-right disposition or packing of our major visceral organs, coordinated among subsystems. A strong explanation for the evolutionary and within-species servation of normal situs direction is provided.
