Abstract:

Gnathostomes, or jawed vertebrates, make up the overwhelming majority of modern vertebrate diversity. Among living vertebrates, they comprise the chondrichthyans (“cartilaginous fishes” such as sharks, skates, rays, chimaeras) and the osteichthyans (“bony fishes” or bony vertebrates, inclusive of tetrapods). Gnathostomes appear to have originated in the early Palaeozoic Era, but their early fossil record is fairly scant. The best fossils appear first in the Late Silurian and Devonian periods. Much of gnathostome diversity owes to unique adaptations in the internal skeleton of their head (the e

Thesis (MsCMedSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The gastrointestinal morphology and the distribution of the different types of mucin secreting goblet cells were investigated in three mammalian insectivorous species, namely A. spinosissimus, C. cyanea and A. hottentotus. The aim of the study was to provide a comprehensive morphological comparison between the different species. Another aim was to illustrate and compare the distribution of mucins (neutral, sulfo- and sialomucins) in the gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) of these species, in order to better understand the quali

Abstract:

The brain has been one of the central foci in studies of vertebrate evolution. Work in East African cichlids and other emerging fish models like the Mexican cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus) offer new insight on the role of patterning on brain evolution. These fish can be grouped into two major categories according to habitat; for cichlids it is rock-dwelling (known locally as mbuna) and sand-dwelling (non-mbuna) lineage. The brain development of mbuna versus non-mbuna is defined by changes in gene deployment working along the dorsal/ventral (DV) and anterior/posterior (AP) neuraxes, respectively.

Abstract:

Within Pleistocene cave deposits, snake fossils tend to be relatively common and generally occur as isolated vertebrae. However, the specific, and sometimes generic, identification of isolated snake vertebrae is often hindered by the significant amount of intra- and interspecific variation along the precloacal vertebral column, a subject that has largely been neglected in many fossil snake identifications. Identifications are typically based on the vertebrae of disarticulated modern specimens with preference given to mid-trunk vertebrae. This study utilizes 2-D geometric morphometrics to deter

Abstract:

Snake vertebrae are common throughout the Cenozoic fossil record, but identification of isolated vertebrae often proves difficult due to inter- and intra-columnar variability. Most fossil identifications are based on comparisons with disarticulated modern specimens, with a focus on mid-trunk vertebrae. One focus of this study was to determine the necessity of identifying a true mid-trunk vertebra prior to identification and to develop a method of locating the columnar position of an isolated vertebra for both modern and fossil identifications. Colubrid genera Farancia and Heterodon were chosen

Abstract:

The thoracic skeletal morphology of homininae is poorly known and understood. As a result of the representative fossil record of ribs and vertebrae being rare, distorted, fragmentary or unrecognised even when recovered, very little is known about the variability of rib and vertebral morphology when compared to the other cranial and postcranial elements in this lineage. Yet the costal skeleton forms a substantial part of the postcranial skeleton and thus ribs and vertebrae are therefore potentially numerous in the fossil record; but in comparison with other skeletal elements, and for the reason

Abstract:

Mobility of the vertebral column is important for many ecological aspects of vertebrates, especially in the cervical series, which connects the head to the main body. Thus, fusion within the cervical series is hypothesized to have ecological and behavioural implications. Fused, anterior cervical vertebrae have evolved independently over 20 times in ecologically disparate amniotes, most commonly in pelagic, ricochetal, and fossorial taxa, suggesting an adaptive function for the ‘syncervical.’ Fusion may help increase out-force during head-lift digging or prevent anteroposteriorly shortened vert

Abstract:

All living hominoids are characterized by taillessness and adaptations to orthograde (upright) trunk posture. Accordingly, these features have importance for our understanding of ape origins, evolutionary relationships and positional behaviors. Despite extensive study of the hominoid postcranial skeleton, researchers continue to face difficulty identifying taillessness and orthogrady from fossil material. In part, difficulties persist because although the Miocene fossil record indicates that the evolution of tail loss and orthogrady was decoupled, previous research has focused primarily on how
