“…We recommend the incorporation of Fatmeter measurements at a single site located dorsally to the lateral scutes at the posterior end of the fish above the pelvic fins (U-P) into conservation monitoring programs for adult pallid sturgeon (total length [TL] ≥ 790 mm; fork length [FL] ≥ 715 mm) and the cautious application of Fatmeter measurements for sturgeon between 435 and 790 mm TL (375–715 mm FL). …”

“…We hypothesize that the pelvic girdle of ricefishes experienced sex‐biased selection pressures in species where females provide brood care by carrying fertilized eggs supported by elongated pelvic fins (“pelvic brooding”). We test this by comparing pelvic bone shapes of both sexes in species exhibiting pelvic brooding and the more common reproductive strategy “transfer brooding,” by using landmark‐free 2D and 3D GM, as well as qualitative shape descriptions. …”

“…Omega-3 lowered fasting blood glucose (FBG) (SUCRAs: 93.53%), and chromium reduced fasting insulin (FINS) (SUCRAs: 72.90%); both were superior to placebo in improving insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), and chromium was more effective than Omega-3 (SUCRAs: 79.99%). …”

In addition to occupying critical phylogenetic positions, these groups possess combinations of derived and ancestral features not seen in conventional model vertebrates, and thus provide an opportunity for understanding the genetic bases of such traits. …”
