Dates, nodes and character conflict: Addressing the Lissamphibian origin problem
@article{Ruta2007DatesNA, title={Dates, nodes and character conflict: Addressing the Lissamphibian origin problem}, author={M. Ruta and M. Coates}, journal={Journal of Systematic Palaeontology}, year={2007}, volume={5}, pages={122 - 69} }
Synopsis Extant amphibians consist of Salientia (frogs), Caudata (salamanders), and Gymnophiona (caecilians). The mutual relationships of these groups are controversial, with either Batrachia (Salientia + Caudata) or Procera (Gymnophiona + Caudata) as emerging clades in recent molecular and morphological analyses. The monophyly of amphibians as a whole is supported by independent data, but their origins and affinities with early tetrapods are debated. A new cladistic analysis of early tetrapods… CONTINUE READING
