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.

... found a trichotomy among the monophyletic Northern Hemisphere family Petromyzontidae and the two Southern Hemisphere families Geotriidae and Mordaciidae, and recommended that all three be treated as separate families. This recommendation.
... monophyletic groups is generally agreed, but the precise sequence of their branching is still in doubt; some authorities (e.g., Donoghue et al., 2000) have placed †Pteraspidomorphi as the first branch, while others (e.g., Janvier, 2015) ...
... monophyletic group, of which †Turinia pagei was the least derived member. The furcacaudiforms were resolved as an unnatural group, one taxon being the sister taxon to the “conventional” thelodont clade, and the other, the sister taxon ...

... monophyletic, and five features were given in Goujet and Young (2004) supporting this conclusion. Two other hypotheses as discussed by Janvier (1996) and Goujet and Young (2004) are i) placoderms and chondrichthyans are sister taxa, and ...
