Is a zebra a vertebrate or invertebrate? Are bony fish benthos? Do cartilaginous fish have fins or legs? Do cartilaginous fish have an operculum? Do bony fish have paired fins? Are cartilaginous fish ancestral to lobe-finned fish? Are cartilaginous fish invertebrates?
Mucosal immunity of vertebrate and invertebrate species within aquaculture Guest editors: Claudia Serra, Ana Couto The aim of this special issue is to bring together a collection of papers relevant to mucosal immunity within invertebrate and vertebrate species that are farmed within the aquaculture indus...
Surprisingly, the actin/TnC-binding sequence resembles that of arthropod, rather than tetrapod vertebrate, troponin I's and has, besides, unique features not seen in any other troponin I's, vertebrate or invertebrate.doi:10.1016/0167-4781(96)00033-4Paul A. Hodgson...

Zebra mbuna (aspeciesof cichlid fish) and stingrays can add and subtract one from the numbers one to five, according to a study published inScientific Reports. The findings highlight that the numerical abilities of fish are on par with those of other vertebrate and invertebrate species, accor...
Here, we show how this evolutionary path has led to the generation of toxins that contain both, a minimized vertebrate SS-like motif that is nearly identical to the pharmacophore of SS drug analogs, and a N-terminal tail that closely aligns with a fish SS peptide. The similarity to the ...
Hagfishes (Myxinidae), a family of jawless marine pre-vertebrates, hold a unique evolutionary position, sharing a joint ancestor with the entire vertebrate lineage. They are thought to fulfil primarily the ecological niche of scavengers in the deep ocean
Paramyosin, which is absent from vertebrate muscle, indicated the presence of mollusc muscle. It was shown that the determination, of arginine kinase activity enabled differentiation between raw fish muscle and invertebrate muscles.doi:10.1007/BF02368398H. Rehbein...
Invertebrates, particularly those that have a flighted adult stage, may be responsible for moving certain viruses, whether vertebrate- or invertebrate-related, between locations as has been hypothesised with viruses from the Totiviridae (Tighe et al., 2022). Birds that prey on small fish such ...
Marine animals responsible for envenomation can be broken into two large groups—vertebrates and invertebrates. Venomous vertebrate marine animals include stingrays, lionfish, scorpion fish, stonefish, and catfish, whereas venomous invertebrates include jellyfish,anemones, and fire coral. ...
