The flatfish has always been regarded as an oddity. Although the immature fish has eyes on opposite sides of its head, one of the eyes migrates around its skull before it reaches maturity. Yet there ...

Flatfish metamorphosis represents one of the most dramatic examples of post-embryonic development in vertebrates. During this process, a symmetric larva transforms into an asymmetric juvenile, a ...

Many of us, including scientists, have wondered how fish like sole and flounder ended up with two eyes on one side of their heads; flatfish are probably the most asymmetric vertebrates on the planet.

Flatfishes rapidly evolved into the most asymmetric vertebrates by changing multiple traits at once, according to a new study. Ever look at a flatfish like a flounder or sole, with two eyes on one ...

Hidden away in museums for more that 100 years, some recently rediscovered flatfish fossils have filled a puzzling gap in the story of evolution and answered a question that initially stumped even ...
