... is known about the relationship between form and function in this key vertebrate structure. In this study we demonstrate that morphological specializations of the pectoral fin rays of the benthic longhorn sculpin ( Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus ) have specific functional consequences both within...

...). In this study, we used molecular and immunological methods to assess the role of NHE isoforms in the branchial epithelium of the marine long-horned sculpin ( Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus ) and the euryhaline killifish ( Fundulus heteroclitus ). Northern blot analysis of RNA probed with the human NHE-1 Bam HI...
