Developmental tuning of mineralization drives morphological diversity of gill cover bones in sculpins and their relatives
Abstract The role of osteoblast placement in skeletal morphological variation is relatively well understood, but alternative developmental mechanisms affecting bone shape remain largely unknown. Specifically, very little attention has been paid to variation in later mineralization stages of intramem...
