Genetics

So... let's skip to the chase. I am a very obsessive person, and love to learn new things. I know a little bit about various puffer species but was wondering if anybody had links or articles or PDFs or what have you for info on puffer evolution and adaptation. It is just something I want to research a bit and learn more about. I know there are a lot of puffer species and I am (almost) certain that they developed independently. Just curious what science articles are out there for me. Please supply credible sources and no pseudoscience or extreme evangelical/atheist literature. Thanks.

I have some but won't have access to them for months. Try Google Scholar :)
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
