'Fish'(A ctinopterygii and E lasmobranchii) diversification patterns through deep time
Actinopterygii (ray‐finned fishes) and E lasmobranchii (sharks, skates and rays) represent
more than half of today's vertebrate taxic diversity (approximately 33000 species) and form …

A Silurian maxillate placoderm illuminates jaw evolution
The discovery of Entelognathus revealed the presence of maxilla, premaxilla, and dentary,
supposedly diagnostic osteichthyan bones, in a Silurian placoderm. However, the …

Molecular phylogeny and dating reveal a terrestrial origin in the early carboniferous for ascaridoid nematodes
Ascaridoids are among the commonest groups of zooparasitic nematodes (roundworms)
and occur in the alimentary canal of all major vertebrate groups, including humans. They …
