The evolution of the placenta in poeciliid fishes

|
By Andrew I. Furness, Cottingham Road, John C. Avise, Bart J.A. Pollux
| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • Placentation has evolved multiple times in the live-bearing fish family Poeciliidae • We find no consistent family-wide associations between placentation and habitat • Placental species tend to have superfetation and reduced reproductive allotment • Placental species tend to have either few large offspring or many small offspring Summary How and why complex organs evolve is generally lost to history.
