Computed tomography -- CT scanning -- which combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around an organism and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images of its bones, ...

Further support for this hypothesis comes from the observation that treatment of cichlid larvae with higher doses of LiCl induced what we refer to as a ‘lock jaw’ phenotype, whereby the upper and ...
