Fishes of the WorldJohn Wiley & Sons, 25. 4. 2016 - 752 strán (strany) Take your knowledge of fishes to the next level Fishes of the World, Fifth Edition is the only modern, phylogenetically based classification of the world’s fishes. The updated text offers new phylogenetic diagrams that clarify the relationships among fish groups, as well as cutting-edge global knowledge that brings this classic reference up to date. With this resource, you can classify orders, families, and genera of fishes, understand the connections among fish groups, organize fishes in their evolutionary context, and imagine new areas of research. To further assist your work, this text provides representative drawings, many of them new, for most families of fishes, allowing you to make visual connections to the information as you read. It also contains many references to the classical as well as the most up-to-date literature on fish relationships, based on both morphology and molecular biology. The study of fishes is one that certainly requires dedication—and access to reliable, accurate information. With more than 30,000 known species of sharks, rays, and bony fishes, both lobe-finned and ray-finned, you will need to master your area of study with the assistance of the best reference materials available. This text will help you bring your knowledge of fishes to the next level.

There is a tension between using molecular versus morphological variation as phylogenetic data, and in what proportion, analogous to the tension that once existed between adopting a traditional versus a cladistic classification.
Transformative technologies in both morphology (e.g., 3-D scanning and imaging) and molecular systematics (e.g., ... In the paleontological and morphological realm, there have been international collaborations, meetings, ...
They arose and began to radiate more than 500 million years ago and both now and in the past exhibit incomparable diversity in their morphology, in the habitats they occupy, in their physiology, and in their behavior.
The latter grouping is an old idea that was discarded by morphologists as not explaining the morphological data well, including evidence from fossils, but it is supported by molecular evidence from Mallatt and Sullivan (1998), ...
Sansom (2009) presented a revised phylogeny and a morphological character analysis, building on the work of Janvier (1985). Taxa are recognized as noncornuate (e.g., †Ateleaspis, †Hirella, and †Hemicyclaspis) when they lack ...
