The 47 pages that link to Gills, each with the reason it gives.

• DecapodaRelated: Most decapods breathe through gills housed beneath the carapace.

• CrustaceanRelated: Many aquatic crustaceans exchange gases through gills beneath the exoskeleton.

• ActinopterygiiRelated: Gills provide the primary means of oxygen uptake in most actinopterygians.

• TadpoleRelated: Tadpole gills support aquatic respiration before lungs and other breathing modes take over.

• CrustaceaRelated: Many crustaceans use gills, often protected beneath the carapace.

• LungfishRelated: Lungfish retain gills, allowing aquatic gas exchange alongside air breathing.

• CarideaRelated: Carideans use gills for aquatic respiration, including species in freshwater habitats.

• Fish anatomyRelated: Their internal structure is central to fish respiration.

• LobsterRelated: Lobsters breathe underwater through gills housed beneath the carapace.

• AcanthostegaRelated: Its gill apparatus supports the conclusion that Acanthostega remained strongly aquatic.

• Amphibian metamorphosisRelated: Larval gills are reduced or replaced as many amphibians shift toward adult respiration.

• CrayfishRelated: Crayfish use gills to breathe, often sheltered beneath the carapace.

• BivalveRelated: Bivalve gills often capture food particles as well as exchange gases.

• ChimaeraRelated: Chimaeras’ gills lie beneath a fleshy covering rather than separate exposed slits.

• MonoplacophoraRelated: The repeated gills are among the clearest serial features of monoplacophoran anatomy.

• DecapodRelated: Most aquatic decapods extract oxygen from water using gills beneath the carapace.

• Bull sharkRelated: Gill transport processes help control ions while bull sharks breathe in contrasting salinities.

• ShipwormRelated: Shipworm gills house bacterial symbionts involved in wood digestion.

• Spotted ratfishRelated: A single external gill opening on each side is characteristic of chimaeras.

• Freshwater snailRelated: Many freshwater snails rely on gills and remain submerged while exchanging gases.

• Frilled sharkRelated: Six pairs of gills account for the shark’s distinctive external appearance.

• Antarctic fishesRelated: Gill structure and blood flow support oxygen uptake in cold, oxygen-rich seawater.

• ArandaspisRelated: Openings in the head shield accommodated the gill region.

• AxiideaRelated: Gill ventilation must function while many axiideans remain inside sediment burrows.

• ChannichthyidaeRelated: Large gills help icefishes extract dissolved oxygen from seawater.

• Freshwater crabRelated: Gills support aquatic respiration, while modified chambers help some crabs remain active on land.

• HeterocongrinaeRelated: Garden eels remain submerged while exchanging gases through gills.

• Spanish dancerRelated: Its exposed gill plume is visible on the back when the animal is at rest.
