All tetrapods descended from a common ancestor that just happened to have limbs with five digits. And over the eons of evolution following that, natural selection worked with variations on ...

Newly discovered tetrapod footprints suggest that the evolution of limbed vertebrates may have occurred nearly 20 million years earlier than scientists previously believed, according to a study ...

It seems that evolution has forgotten them ... architecture of the set of chromosomes (karyotype) of the ancestral tetrapod from the sequences of the lungfish species that are still alive today.

If you took a progressive view, you might assume that tetrapods lost their rays during the course of evolution. In reality, however, the common ancestor of both tetrapods and goldfish lacked rays ...

Transitional fossils help scientists bridge gaps in the tree of life, resulting in a picture of gradual evolution over millions of years.

We are interested in manuscripts that explore the use of various reconstruction methods and what they can tell us about the evolution of soft tissue anatomy and function surrounding the tetrapod water ...

The over-arching goal of this project is therefore to understand how whole-body shape and size have interacted across major shifts in ecological and environmental niche occupation during tetrapod ...

Innovation and opportunity in the evolution of life A project to produce a complete evolutionary tree of tetrapods and use this to explore two core questions in macroevolution: the balance between ...

These results suggest that the Iberian natural and national parks are effectively capturing the functional, phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity of most tetrapod assemblages present at the regional ...
