Cartilage

Cartilage is a resilient and smooth type of connective tissue.

See Callorhinchus and Cartilage

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (cerebella or cerebellums; Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

See Callorhinchus and Cerebellum

Chimaeras are cartilaginous fish in the order Chimaeriformes, known informally as ghost sharks, rat fish, spookfish, or rabbit fish; the last three names are not to be confused with rattails, Opisthoproctidae, or Siganidae, respectively.

See Callorhinchus and Chimaera

Chondrichthyes

Chondrichthyes is a class of jawed fish that contains the cartilaginous fish or chondrichthyans, which all have skeletons primarily composed of cartilage.

See Callorhinchus and Chondrichthyes

Cretaceous

The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).

See Callorhinchus and Cretaceous

Encephalization quotient

Encephalization quotient (EQ), encephalization level (EL), or just encephalization is a relative brain size measure that is defined as the ratio between observed and predicted brain mass for an animal of a given size, based on nonlinear regression on a range of reference species.

See Callorhinchus and Encephalization quotient

Estuary

An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.

See Callorhinchus and Estuary

Forebrain

In the anatomy of the brain of vertebrates, the forebrain or prosencephalon is the rostral (forward-most) portion of the brain.

See Callorhinchus and Forebrain

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Callorhinchus and Fossil

Fossilworks

Fossilworks is a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

Gamete

A gamete (ultimately) is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that reproduce sexually.

See Callorhinchus and Gamete

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See Callorhinchus and Genome

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Callorhinchus and Genus

Holocephali

Holocephali ("complete heads"), sometimes given the name Euchondrocephali, is a subclass of cartilaginous fish in the class Chondrichthyes.

See Callorhinchus and Holocephali

Homology (biology)

In biology, homology is similarity due to shared ancestry between a pair of structures or genes in different taxa.

International Union for Conservation of Nature

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent

Jean-Baptiste Geneviève Marcellin Bory de Saint-Vincent was a French naturalist, officer and politician.

Least-concern species

A least-concern species is a species that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as evaluated as not being a focus of wildlife conservation because the specific species is still plentiful in the wild.

See Callorhinchus and Least-concern species

Neontology

Neontology is a part of biology that, in contrast to paleontology, deals with living (or, more generally, recent) organisms.

See Callorhinchus and Neontology

Operculum (fish)

The operculum is a series of bones found in bony fish and chimaeras that serves as a facial support structure and a protective covering for the gills; it is also used for respiration and feeding.

See Callorhinchus and Operculum (fish)

Oviparity

Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (known as laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother.

See Callorhinchus and Oviparity

Phylogenetics

In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms.

See Callorhinchus and Phylogenetics

Samuel Garman

Samuel Walton Garman (June 5, 1843 – September 30, 1927), or "Garmann" as he sometimes styled himself, was an American naturalist and zoologist.

Southern Hemisphere

The Southern Hemisphere is the half (hemisphere) of Earth that is south of the Equator.

See Callorhinchus and Southern Hemisphere

Teleost

Teleostei (Greek teleios "complete" + osteon "bone"), members of which are known as teleosts, is, by far, the largest infraclass in the class Actinopterygii, the ray-finned fishes, and contains 96% of all extant species of fish.

Tierra del Fuego

Tierra del Fuego (Spanish for "Land of Fire", rarely also Fireland in English) is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan.

10th edition of Systema Naturae

The 10th edition of Systema Naturae (Latin; the English title is A General System of Nature) is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature.
