The evolution of brain neuron numbers in amniotes

Kristina Kverkova et al.

Summary: Comparative analysis of brain evolution across amniotes reveals that reptiles have relatively small brains and low neuronal densities compared to birds and mammals. The most significant increases in brain neurons occurred independently in birds and mammals. Two additional major increases in neuron numbers occurred in core land birds and anthropoid primates. Interestingly, relative brain size is associated with relative neuronal cell density in reptiles, birds, and primates, but not in other mammals. This has important implications for understanding the evolutionary drivers of animal cognition.

Remarkable diversity of vomeronasal type 2 receptor (OlfC) genes of basal ray-finned fish and its evolutionary trajectory in jawed vertebrates

Zicong Zhang et al.

Summary: The vomeronasal type 2 receptor (V2R) multigene family is found in a wide range of jawed vertebrates. This study analyzed V2Rs in different species and found that basal ray-finned fish have a higher number of V2Rs compared to cartilaginous fish. This suggests that the V2R gene repertoire expanded in the common ancestor of ray-finned fish. Furthermore, the presence of both fish-type and tetrapod-type V2Rs in basal ray-finned fish indicates that tetrapod-type V2Rs were present in their underwater ancestor. This unexpected diversity of V2Rs in basal ray-finned fish provides insights into the olfactory adaptation of ancestral vertebrates from water to land.

Coevolution of the olfactory organ and its receptor repertoire in ray-finned fishes

Maxime Policarpo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory receptor genes in ray-finned fishes and their relationship with the morphology of the olfactory organ. The results show that there is a functional link between the two, with ancient and simplified olfactory organs associated with gene losses and species with unique and complex olfactory organs having a larger repertoire of olfactory receptor genes.

Olfaction of aquatic amniotes

Takushi Kishida

Summary: Aquatic adaptation has led to significant changes in the olfactory capabilities and organs of amniotes, with cetaceans and sea snakes showing extreme examples of olfactory system degeneration. The diverse phylogenetic backgrounds and ecological contexts of aquatic amniotes contribute to their varied olfactory adaptations and capabilities.

Olfaction across the water-air interface in anuran amphibians

Lukas Weiss et al.

Summary: Extant anuran amphibians are descendants of the first tetrapod group that conquered the terrestrial environment in evolution, facing exposure to both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Despite lagging behind findings on mammals, recent research on the olfactory system of anurans sheds light on the importance of smell in evolution.

Giant lungfish genome elucidates the conquest of land by vertebrates

Axel Meyer et al.

Summary: Lungfishes, belonging to lobe-fined fish, possess a chromosome-quality genome with a vast size attributed to huge intergenic regions, introns with high repeat content, and active transposable elements. Phylogenomic analyses confirm lungfishes' key evolutionary position as the closest living relatives to tetrapods. Their preadaptations to living on land, increased rates of evolution, and duplication of genes associated with obligate air-breathing contribute to their tetrapod-like biology. These findings advance our understanding of the major transition during vertebrate evolution.

A Chromosome-Level Assembly of Blunt Snout Bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) Genome Reveals an Expansion of Olfactory Receptor Genes in Freshwater Fish

Han Liu et al.

Summary: This study reports a major OR expansion in a freshwater herbivorous fish, Megalobrama amblycephala, and evaluates the possible contribution of OR expansion to habitat and feeding specialization by comparing the OR repertoire in 28 phylogenetically and ecologically diverse teleosts. The research found a strong association between duplications of beta and epsilon ORs and freshwater habitat, with the expanded beta and epsilon ORs highly expressed in the olfactory epithelium of Megalobrama amblycephala.

Evolutionary Dynamics of the OR Gene Repertoire in Teleost Fishes: Evidence of an Association with Changes in Olfactory Epitnelium Shape

Maxime Policarpo et al.

Summary: Teleost fishes perceive their environment mainly through olfaction, which depends on the diversity of OR gene repertoire including OR, TAAR, VR1, and VR2 families. Analysis of 163 species genomes showed a wide range of variation in the number of functional OR genes, with higher numbers in species with multilamellar olfactory rosettes. Evolution of the OR gene repertoire in teleost fishes is influenced by both slow and balanced birth-and-death processes, as well as episodes of high rates of gene loss followed by gains related to morphological changes in the olfactory organ.
