Amniote

Impedance matching of the tympanic middle ear occurred very early in amniote evolution. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Mammary glands evolved in the mammalian lineage after mammals and frogs split from their amniote ancestor. ❋ Unknown (2010)

It was reasonable to assume that these mechanisms would account for embryo elongation, but the actual processes were unknown before the experiments of Bénazéraf and colleagues "A random cell motility gradient downstream of FGF controls elongation of an amniote embryo," Nature 8 July ❋ Unknown (2010)

A random cell motility gradient downstream of FGF controls elongation of an amniote embryo Nature, 466 7303, 248-252 DOI: 10.1038/nature09151 ❋ Unknown (2010)

Primitive reptiles were able to radiate into drier habitats than amphibians because of the amniote egg with a leathery or hard shell, and because of their relatively impermeable skin with scales. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Well, I'm supposed to start with a revision of the placodonts and then, "if time allows", to bloat this into an amniote phylogeny. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)

I venture that im not the only one who didnt know the early amniote history, and im certain im not the only one who was puzzled by the Nat geo. cladogram. ❋ Unknown (2005)

ABSTRACT In this special issue on the Evo-Devo of amniote integuments, Alibardi has discussed the adaptation of the integument to the land. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Birds are also clearly diapsids and if every living amniote that isnt a mammal is a diapsid then birds are diapsid reptiles too. ❋ Unknown (2005)

The thin wall of these first vessels of the amniote embryo consists of flat cells (endothelia or vascular epithelia); the fluid within already contains numbers of red blood-cells; both have been developed from the gut-fibre layer. ❋ Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1876)

As the median partition between the right and left cardiocoel disappears, the two cervical cavities freely communicate (Figure 2.381), and form, on the ventral side of the amniote head, a horseshoe-shaped arch, the points of which advance backwards into the pleuro-ducts or pleural cavities, and from there into the two peritoneal sacs of the trunk. ❋ Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1876)

The primitive or primordial kidneys of the amniote embryo were formerly called the "Wolffian bodies," and sometimes "Oken's bodies." ❋ Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1876)

The latter has developed from the amphigastrula of the ganoids and dipneusts, whereas the discoid amniote gastrula has been evolved from the amphibian gastrula by the addition of food-yelk. ❋ Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1876)

[Bryan] was saying [weird shit] again. [You don't] have to ask it was a Amniotic Scenario ❋ Los Piratos (2016)

[I can't] [believe] [I forgot] my husbands name, I must have amniotic brain. ❋ LuluDouthit (2010)
