Researchers have elucidated the evolutionary origins of placodes and neural crests, which are defining features of vertebrates, through lineage tracing and genetic analysis in Ciona intestinalis, a ...
Gathering vision data for hundreds of vertebrates and invertebrates, biologists have deepened scientists' understanding of animal vision, including the colors they see. The researchers determined that ...
New CU Boulder-led research finds that the traits that make vertebrates distinct from invertebrates were made possible by the emergence of a new set of genes 500 million years ago, documenting an ...
Invertebrates dominate the animal kingdom, making up 97 percent of all creatures. These animals, lacking a backbone, display ...

Invertebrates are animals lacking a backbone. They comprise the majority of Earth's species. They inhabit oceans, soil, and forests. Invertebrate Animals: The animal kingdom is full of diverse species ...
A mass extinction of fish 360 million years ago hit the reset button on Earth’s life, setting the stage for modern vertebrate biodiversity. The mass extinction scrambled the species pool near the time ...
The cradle of vertebrate evolution was limited to a zone of shallow coastal waters, no more than 60 meters deep. In those waters, fish — the first vertebrates — appeared roughly 480 million years ago, ...

About 9,000 species have already gone extinct in Australia and we'll likely lose another this week—new study
More than 95% of Australian animals are invertebrates (animals without backbones—spiders, snails, insects, crabs, worms and others). There are at least 300,000 species of invertebrate in Australia. Of ...
