All #vertebrates share a 600-million-year-old worm-like #ancestor that had a single, #CentralMedianEye
This #ThirdEye evolved into the #PinealGland, which regulates #CircadianRhythms, while its #photoreceptive pathways contributed to the development of paired, #LateralEyes

Self-awareness in Cleaner Wrasse fish [via Nature] 🧪🥼🐟🤳👀
"our results suggest that self-awareness evolved at a minimum with the bony fishes (450 Mya)46 and is likely widespread across vertebrates."

A Surprising Genetic Discovery About How Vertebrates Emerged #Science #Biology #EvolutionaryBiology #Genetics #Evolution #Vertebrates

Fig. 2 Potential variation in basal HSP expression patterns across embryonic development in the form of an ontogenetic increase or decrease in expression. Because warmer incubation conditions accelerate development (and therefore reduce incubation duration), we would expect that any ontogenetic change in HSP expression (if present) would occur sooner under warm conditions relative to cool conditions.

The Earliest Known Vertebrates Had Four Eyes—and They Worked a Lot Like Ours Do, New Research Suggests: Two of those eyes may have evolved into a part of the brain called the pineal gland @SmithsonianMag #Vertebrates #Evolution #Paleontology #ScienceNews #Research
Early vertebrates had FOUR eyes. Not two. I'm obsessed with the chaos of evolution. #Cambrian #Evolution #Vertebrates #PaleoArt #Science
#Insects are so important for our global #foodsystems, yet they don’t get the same attention in #conservation policy

Need healthy #FreshwaterHabitat?
A new study confirms #oldgrowth #forests (>75 years) are better for freshwater #invertebrates and #vertebrates than young forests.
Diverse #habitats in older trees support more unique and specialized aquatic species 🌍

Distribution of variables used in the calculation of Proactive Conservation Index (PCI) for six species of land vertebrates. Values in spider plots were scaled between 0 and 1. Values on the upper part of each photograph indicate our assigned PCI scores (inner, values closer to 1 indicate a higher conservation priority, relative to other species in the same class), and their IUCN Red List categories (outer, LC, Least Concern; CR, Critically Endangered; DD, Data Deficient; NE, Non-Evaluated). To keep the area of spider plots proportional to PCI scores, the authors have inverted variables that reduce PCI score, and changed their names here accordingly: inverted brood size is named “Reproductive Restriction,” inverted range size is named “Range Restriction,” and inverted protected range is named “Unprotected Range.” Cyrtodactylus metropolis photograph provided by L.
