Actinotrichia-independent developmental mechanisms of spiny rays facilitate the morphological diversification of Acanthomorpha fish fins - Nature Communications Fish fins are a good model for studying the evolutionary basis for morphological diversity. Here, they show that variation in cell distribution, signaling intensity, and ECM assembly all contribute to spiny ray diversification in Acanthomorpha fins. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-69180-y
