Two species of small, deep-dwelling fish called pearlsides possess eye cells that break the rules of vertebrate vision, combining features of rods and cones into a single hybrid photoreceptor never ...

Some deep-sea fish may be able to see light in a different way from most other vertebrates, according to a new study. The ...

New research uncovers a hybrid visual cell in deep-sea fish, challenging the traditional rod-cone dichotomy in vertebrates. These cells, discovered in larvae of certain Red Sea fish, mix the ...

Deep-sea fish larvae reveal hybrid photoreceptors that blend rods and cones, challenging traditional vision models and ...

Researchers have identified a new type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae that challenges a century of knowledge about vertebrate visual systems. Dr. Fabio Cortesi from The University of ...

"The hybrid offspring can combine the biological characteristics and genome of both parents, which enables the matching of phenotypes and genotypes," explains co-corresponding author Yuqin Shu, a ...

A research team led by Professor Shaojun Liu at Hunan Normal University published a study in Science China Life Sciences that elucidates the molecular mechanisms enabling fertility in hybrid fish ...
