The phylogeny of early gnathostomes provides an important framework for understanding one the most significant evolutionary events, origin and diversification jawed vertebrates. A series recent cladistic analyses have suggested that placoderms, extinct group armoured fish, form a paraphyletic basal to all other We revised expanded this morphological data set, notably by sampling autapomorphies in similar way parsimony-informative traits, thus ensuring (unlike existing sets) satisfied...
Jaws from the jawless Until a fossil called Entelognathus was found to contain tripartite jaw few years ago, it believed that skeletons of early osteichthyans (bony fish), ancestors all vertebrates, were derived independently those earlier placoderms (so-called fish). Zhu et al. now describe second Silurian placoderm more securely bridges toothlike plates development jawed condition ultimately led three-boned in modern vertebrates (see Perspective by Long). This finding upends traditional...
A series of recent studies recovered consistent phylogenetic scenarios jawed vertebrates, such as the paraphyly placoderms with respect to crown gnathostomes, and antiarchs sister group all other vertebrates. However, some relationships within have remained controversial, positions Entelognathus, ptyctodontids, Guiyu-lineage that comprises Guiyu, Psarolepis Achoania. The revision dataset in a study reveals modified hypothesis, which shows these conflicts were sourced from few inadvertent...
Osteichthyans comprise two divisions, each containing over 32,000 living species [1]: Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fishes and tetrapods) Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes). Recent discoveries from China highlight the morphological disparity of early sarcopterygians extend their origin into late Silurian [2-4]. By contrast, oldest unambiguous actinopterygians are roughly 30 million years younger, leaving a long temporal gap populated by fragments rare body fossils controversial phylogenetic...
