Neoteny (/niˈɒtəni/), also called juvenilization, is the delaying or slowing of the physiological, or somatic, development of an organism, typically an...

larvae to terrestrial adults, while others, such as the axolotl, display pedomorphosis and never develop into terrestrial adults. Within the genus Ambystoma...

maturation from larvae. This aspect of their physiology is known as pedomorphosis. Despite having lungs, which appear to provide little use in respiration...

surrounding bone. It has been suggested that this species exhibits pedomorphosis, that is, they retain many juvenile traits into adulthood. Some of these...

into drastically dissimilar adult forms for reproduction, and about pedomorphosis, another process which enables juveniles of some species to become sexually...

characteristics for the whole of its life. This is called neoteny (a kind of pedomorphosis). The body length is up to 1.5 mm. Paedoclione doliiformis has no shell...

speaking, avian skulls consist of many small, non-overlapping bones. Pedomorphosis, maintenance of the ancestral state in adults, is thought to have facilitated...

coelacanths, for example, retained a juvenile scale morphology through pedomorphosis. Keith Thomson later analyzed specific growth structures on the cosmine...

that the bone structure could also be explained by species-specific pedomorphosis, the retention by adults of juvenile traits. This would be proven by...
