ABSTRACT

Cover illustration. Skeletal body plan of the Atlantic mudskipper (Periophthalmus barbarus) from a lateral view. The mudskipper uses its fish feeding apparatus to successfully feed in the terrestrial environment. Each color represents a unit of fused or otherwise firmly interconnected ossified structures. Presented from a micro CT-scan using Amira (FEI Visualization Sciences Group). See Michel et al. (pp. 1145–116010.1002/jmor.20291) for further details.
