Decoupled phenotypic constraints framed by respiratory adaptation in the rise of land vertebrates.

Science advances - 3 Apr 2026

Yu Yilun, Xu Xing, Benson Roger B J

Abstract excerpt

Land vertebrates today comprise amniotes and lissamphibians, which have highly different modes of gas exchange, and distinct skull shapes and body size distributions. A central hypothesis of tetrapod evolution proposes a connection between these traits during their initial divergence, 335 million years ago. However, this has yet to be tested in a broad phylogenetic context. We investigate the evolution of body...
