	Figure 1. Expression summary of edns in P. marinus.Left lateral views in all non-prime panels. All prime lettered panels show ventral/oral views of the correspondingly lettered panel, save C’, G’, and K’ which show horizontal sections. Developmental stage68 is indicated for each specimen in the bottom right of a panel. (A–D) ednA expression in P. marinus surrounds the stomodeum and marks the pharyngeal arches. (E–H) ednC expression in P. marinus is found around the stomodeum and on the lateral sides of the head. Arrows in F point to mesenchymal ednC expression below the superficial expression in the ectoderm. (I–L) ednE expression in P. marinus is found along the somites, and throughout the facial and pharyngeal skeleton. All scale bars represent 100 μm. he, heart; meso, mesoderm; PAs, pharyngeal arches; st, stomodeum.

Developmental stage6869 for each specimen is indicated in the bottom right corner of a panel. (A–D) X. laevis expression of edn1-b from stage 19 to 33. Dotted outline in A surrounds the cement gland. Arrows in B indicate expression in ectoderm which will eventually contribute to the nostrils (E–I) P. marinus expression of ednA from stage 22.5 to 26.5. Arrows in F indicate expression in ectoderm which will eventually move rostrally to cover the nasohypophyseal plate, contributing to the future medial nostril. In a similar sequence, both genes are expressed in bilateral patches above the future mouth, surrounding the nasal placodes/nasohypophyseal plate, in pharyngeal arch mesoderm and ectoderm, and just below the stomodeum. All scale bars represent 100 μm. cg, cement gland; nhp, nasohypophyseal plate; np nasal placode; st, stomodeum.
