Horton, J. Mechanical properties of alimentary tissues in teleostean fishes, 2020: abstr. (These studies provide insight into the mechanistic and developmental variations in mechanical properties along the gastrointestinal tract and over ontogeny. My results also corroborate the suggestion that the proximal section of the intestinal tract acts as a "stomach" in these agastric fishes. These data contribute to our knowledge of the mechanical properties of alimentary tissues and guide future studies of factors that may not only influence possible selective pressures driving the evolution of intestinal tissues but also the evolution of teleostean fishes) p. 15 (review of durophagy and the gastrointestinal tract in teleostean fishes)
