TL;DR: Postembryonic changes in several traits that are visible under brightfield illumination or through vital staining and epiflourescent illumination are described and related to changes in size and age show that size is a better indicator of developmental progress than is age.

TL;DR: Pigment patterns provide an opportunity to explore how development is altered to produce differences in form and whether similar phenotypes share a common genetic basis.

TL;DR: Evaluated data indicate that the Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag card has an analytical sensitivity approximately equivalent to a generic qRT-PCR cycle threshold (CT) value of 29 to 30, which is less sensitive than molecular detection methods.

TL;DR: A complex genetic architecture underlying the evolution of the stickleback lateral line sensory system is revealed, and a genetic relationship between sensory morphology and non-neural traits (bony lateral plates) is uncovered, creating an opportunity to investigate morphological constraints on sensory evolution in a vertebrate model system.

TL;DR: Comparisons of wild types and kit mutants of the two species further show that species differences in pigment pattern reflect changes in the behavior of kit-dependent EM melanophores that arise in a dispersed pattern and then migrate into stripes in D. rerio, but fail to migrate in D albolineatus.
