  1. 11:45-12:35 ZOO: 4926 August 25, 2011 Why Ichthyology? Jimmy Liao (jliao@whitney.ufl.edu)

  2. Outline • Diversity • 32,000 species in FishBase • Morphology, physiology, habitat • “Simplicity” • Accessibility

  3. fishes tetrapods

  4. Deepest fish: Abyssobrotula galatheae 8,370 meters (Puerto Rico Trench)

  5. Highest fish: Orestiascuvieri4,570 meters (Lake Titicaca, Andes)

  6. Largest fish: saltwater =Rhincodontypus(95,000 lbs, 12.6 m, 40 feet) freshwater = Husohuso(3m, 10 feet, 3250 lbs) Smallest fish: Trimmatomnanus(10 mm)

  7. Longest fish: Regalecusglesne(11m) Coldest fish: Cryodracoantarticus(-2° C)

  8. “Last”fish: Panderichthys Synapomorphy= shared, derived trait 1) fin rays on lobed fin 2) operculum, suboperculum

  9. “First” amphibian: Acanthostega Synapomorphy= shared, derived trait 1) digits 2) lost operculum

  10. fishes tetrapods

  11. escape, swimming struggling

  12. 1 mm

  15. What are the functions of different spinal neurons? patch recording electrical stimulus motor root recordings GFP-labeled glycinergic spinal interneurons 2. Is activity correlated with cell morphology?

  16. motor behavior n = 75 n = 23 e + sw (4) sw (8) neuronal activity repertoire (%) st (100) (88) sw + st • Design of neural circuits CoBL CoLA struggling swimming + struggling
