Funded Activity Summary

The evolution of land-dwelling fish: contemporary analogues of a critical step in vertebrate evolution. One of the most important ecological transitions in the history of life was the colonization of land by fish in the Devonian. What made these fish move onto land is unknown and impossible to determine entirely from fossils. This project will test several hypotheses using living examples of fish that have made a similar transition to land.
