The great group of fishes called the teleosts, or those with complete bony skeletons, to which most modern fishes belong, may be mentioned here, although in the Devonian they had not yet appeared. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
The teleosts are a highly specialized type, adapted most perfectly to their aquatic environment. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
But if he insists, many teleosts have a greater diversity of photopigments and can see colors we can't even imagine…so humans are once again also-rans in the color vision department. ❋ Unknown (2010)
And later, by the way, the teleosts – which means just about any fish you are likely to meet, except sharks and their kind – modified the lung which had previously evolved in ancestors that occasionally breathed air to become yet another vital organ, which has nothing to do with breathing: the swim bladder. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
Two groups of teleosts, the mormyriforms of Africa and the gymnotiforms of South America, have convergently evolved electric organs EOs whose weak electrical emissions function as communication signals and for electrolocation. ❋ Unknown (2006)
These midline fins are everywhere in fish—lampreys have them, sharks have them, teleosts have them, and we've got traces of them in the fossil record. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Furthermore, the evolved receptor is sensitive enough to cortisol that it will be effectively activated by the plasma cortisol levels found in teleosts and tetrapods; neither so sensitive that is permanently jammed on by these levels, but can respond to stress-induced changes, nor so insensitive that it will not be activated and basically has the same sensitivity as the modern GR. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Nonetheless, the Zakon paper authoritatively states that “Two groups of teleosts, the mormyriforms of Africa and the gymnotiforms of South America, have convergently evolved electric organs.” And the paper concludes that certain evolutionary convergences occurred in the sodium channel genes. ❋ Unknown (2006)
A genome duplication at the origin of teleosts has been suggested as a substrate for the morphological diversity and extensive speciation characteristic of teleosts 22, 23. ❋ Unknown (2006)
What I have said is that the lack of ingroup resolution is consonant with a series of plesions that do not properly polarize the major ingroup clade of coelacanths, teleosts, and chondrichthyans. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Several territorial teleosts greeted the swimming humans as associates, if not friends. ❋ Foster, Alan Dean, 1946- (1980)
We know, for instance, the connecting links between the four-branched and the six-branched corals, or between the ganoids, and the teleosts (bony fish), also between the two great groups of carnivorous and insectivorous marsupials on the one side and the herbivorous marsupials on the other. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
In the Cretaceous the teleosts, or bony fishes, made their appearance, while ganoids declined toward their present subordinate place. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
In most modern fishes (the teleosts) the tail fin is not vertebrated: the spinal column ends in a broad plate, to which the diverging fin rays are attached. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
It is interesting to note that the modern teleosts in their embryological growth pass through the stages which characterized the maturity of their Devonian ancestors; their skeleton is cartilaginous and their tail fin vertebrated. ❋ William Harmon Norton (1900)
The one is characteristic of ordinary fishes (teleosts), the other of sharks and some other orders. ❋ George John Romanes (1871)
They have been expanded dramatically in teleosts and have become the most abundant ❋ Haiyan Huang Et Al. (2010)
To our surprise, the Ugt1 genes in none of these four teleosts are organized into variable and constant regions. ❋ Haiyan Huang Et Al. (2010)
