A non-PM-derived median fin fold. |
The PAFF is an LPM-derived median fin fold. |
PAFF mesenchyme expression of |
Duplication of the PAFF into paired fin folds. |
Hypothesis of the elaboration of the PAFF to paired fins.p>Simplified evolutionary scenario of vertebrates showing the presence of a PAFF and subsequent modifications leading to paired fins. Dashed lines and dagger symbols indicate extinct lineages, and solid lines indicate extant lineages. PM-derived fins and fin folds are in cyan, while LPM-derived fins are in pink. Larval PAFF is hatched. Black arrows indicate the position of the anus. |
