Little evidence for enhanced phenotypic evolution in early teleosts relative to their living fossil sister group.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 Oct 2016

Clarke John T, Lloyd Graeme T, Friedman Matt

Abstract excerpt

Since Darwin, biologists have been struck by the extraordinary diversity of teleost fishes, particularly in contrast to their closest "living fossil" holostean relatives. Hypothesized drivers of teleost success include innovations in jaw mechanics, reproductive biology and, particularly at present, genomic architecture, yet all scenarios presuppose enhanced phenotypic diversification in teleosts. We test this key...
