Sea robins, fish with legs, walk on the ocean bottom. They have evolved taste receptors on their legs that direct digging to access prey. Examining these structures and behaviors advances our understanding of the origin of novel phenotypes.
海鲂,长着腿的鱼,可以在海底行走。它们的腿上进化出味觉感受器,引导它们挖掘以获取猎物。研究这些结构和行为可以增进我们对新表型起源的理解。
