Temat niniejszej pracy nie byłby przeze mnie nigdy zrealizowany, gdyby nie in-spiracja i motywacja prof. dr. hab. Jana Rafi ńskiego, który najpierw zachęcił mnie do badań biologii rozrodu traszek, a następnie wspomógł we wstępnych badaniach tego niezwykłego sposobu rozrodu wśród ryb kostnoszkieletowych – czyli insemian-cji połączonej z jajorodnością u Mimagoniates barberi. Kontynuacja tych badań w szerszym zakresie stała się możliwa dzięki współpracy z profesorami J.R. Burn-sem z George Washington Uniwersity (Washington, DC, USA ) i S.H. Weitzmanem z Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History (Washington, DC, USA), którzy przesłali mi do badań cały materiał, jakim dysponowali, obdarzając mnie zaufaniem w realizacji tego przedsięwzięcia, za co niezwykle serdecznie im dziękuję. Profesorowi J.R. Burnsowi szczególnie dziękuje za dzielenie się ze mną najnowszymi, nieopublikowanymi wynikami badań dotyczących gatunków z kladu A oraz korekty anglojęzyczne.
Za wspieranie mnie we wszystkich przedsięwzięciach badań zwiąnych z rybami kąsaczowatymi przez lata współpracy oraz krytyczne uwagi w redagowaniu niniej-szego wydania dziękuję pani dr hab. Lucynie Witalińskiej. Panu prof. dr. hab. Jacko-wi M. Szymurze dziękuję za liczne stymulujące dyskusje i uwagi podczas pisania wstępu i dyskusji.
Serdecznie dziękuję dr. S. Hofmanowi i dr. A. Osikowskiemu za uwagi do maszy-nopisu. Dr Dagmarze Podkowie za pomoc w opracowaniu tablic i schematów oraz Władysławie Jankowskiej i Iwonie Kicie za wykonanie rysunków do rycin. Paniom:
Jadwidze Faber z pracowni SEM i Marii Kozłowskiej z pracowni TEM z Zakładu Cytologii i Histologii UJ za kompetentną i nadzwyczajną pomoc techniczną.
Wszystkim pracownikom Zakładu Anatomii Porównawczej dziekuję za okazy-wane wsparcie i pomoc podczas pisania pracy.
