Organ Development and Specialization in Lamprey Species

  • Chapter
Evolutionary Biology of Primitive Fishes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 103))

Abstract

The term development has many meanings, but basically it can be divided into ontogenetic and phylogenetic types (Balinsky, 1970). In vertebrates, ontogenesis begins with the maturation of the gametes, extends through fertilization and differentiation of organ systems, and ends with the death of the individual. Phylogenetic development follows the modification of a species or a group of species through an extended period of time. Due to their lowly postion on the taxonomic scale of vertebrates, and the fact that they can claim as their ancestors the primitive ostracoderms, lampreys have been of interest for those studying both ontogenetic and phylogenetic development. During their evolutionary history, lampreys have modified their ancestral ostracoderm form through loss of certain characters and development of new specialized features. As a result, extant lampreys are considered as highly specialized vertebrates (Hubbs and Potter, 1971) with few links to extinct agnathans, to hagfishes or to any invertebrate line (Hardisty, 1982). Despite their history and dissemblance to any other living vertebrate, lampreys have provided insight into the possible evolution of many organ systems. This information has been a consequence of the nature of the lamprey life cycle which, through an extended larval period and a phase of metamorphosis, has provided an ideal opportunity to study ontogenetic development.
