Definition of vertebrate in English: vertebratenoun ˈvəːtɪbrət An animal of a large group distinguished by the possession of a backbone or spinal column, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes. Subphylum Vertebrata, phylum Chordata: seven classes Compare with invertebrate Example sentencesExamples - Jawed vertebrates appeared 100 million years later, in the Silurian.
- Owen's studies on fossil vertebrates were immensely productive.
- In short, this analysis finds that conodonts are more derived than any of the living jawless vertebrates.
- Their presence suggests the feature appeared in a common ancestor of jawed vertebrates, or gnathostomes.
- But some land vertebrates have lost some or all of their ability to detect pheromones.
- Unlike all other jawed vertebrates, placoderms never had teeth, and did not descend from toothed ancestors.
- And we're slow, compared to most big warm-blooded vertebrates.
- No one had unambiguously located such genes in animals more primitive than the jawed vertebrates.
- The limbs of tetrapod vertebrates evolved from fins, with the digits as a novel feature.
- For that reason the earliest terrestrial vertebrates did not come equipped with an occiput, as we understand the term.
- Such a growth trajectory is uncommon or unreported among terrestrial vertebrates and merits closer examination.
- When the fossilized lamprey lived, there were probably many types of jawless vertebrates.
- Following Simpson, Newell mentioned the example of the relatively wider limb bones of larger land vertebrates.
- In contrast, people and other jawed vertebrates brandish adaptive immune systems.
- The temperature at which the eggs of ectothermic vertebrates incubate can influence several phenotypic traits of offspring.
- Floras and faunas from these beds have been discussed, but the remains of small vertebrates have received little attention.
- Instead the molecules that orchestrate adaptive immunity are found in the jawed vertebrates and nowhere else.
- Frugivorous vertebrates ingest fruits and the seeds within, later defecating the seeds.
- If you look at all the warm-blooded vertebrates, we've all got roughly the same life span.
- The third puzzle is why all of this should happen in warm-blooded vertebrates but not in cold-blooded vertebrates.
adjective ˈvəːtɪbrət Denoting a vertebrate or relating to the vertebrates as a group. Example sentencesExamples - The beluga sturgeon is one of the most long-lived of all vertebrate species.
- This junction is clearly visible as a dark band or basal lamina in electron micrographs of developing vertebrate teeth.
- To delve further into this subject, check out our new exhibits on vertebrate flight and chiropteran flight.
- Understanding of the earliest amniotes has been a central pursuit of vertebrate paleontologists over the past century.
- Each vertebrate species was infected by different subsets of oMG's.
- Most investigation into such an antipredatory benefit has focused on caudal autotomy in vertebrate taxa.
- In at least some areas of the river, Axarus larvae are eaten by vertebrate predators.
- If we are ever to develop a theory of vertebrate osteology, this is one of the most remarkable facts it will have to explain.
- For more information, see our new exhibits on vertebrate flight and avian flight.
- Indeed, during this time most of the various invertebrate and vertebrate phyla evolved.
- In addition to abundant crinoids, a diverse invertebrate and vertebrate fauna is contained within the Muldraugh.
- Burying beetles fly in search of small vertebrate carcasses that they inter and subsequently use as the sole larval food source.
- Examples of this behavioral hierarchy appear in every vertebrate group.
- However, vertebrate material was rare in this deposit, and there was not enough material to analyze biochemically.
- New mutated forms of GFP that are more intensely fluorescent provide more avenues for its use in vertebrate systems.
- Members of all vertebrate classes predate eggs and hatchlings.
- In tropical rainforests, the majority of woody plant species disperse seeds via vertebrate frugivores.
- Variations in lemming abundance had a considerable effect on many other vertebrate species in this community.
- The spider is the also first known predator that deliberately feeds on vertebrate blood by eating mosquitoes.
- Similar dispersal behavior among vertebrate siblings has been reported.
