Only aquatic vertebrates have a lateral-line. The lateral-line organ is found in all fishes, most permanently aquatic ... Containing group: Terrestrial Vertebrates. Introduction. Seymouriamorphs are a small but widespread group of early terrestrial ... This is probably a primitive character because the neural arches and pleurocentra of the earliest terrestrial vertebrates were ... Similar electroreceptive organs are widespread in vertebrates and are found, among other groups, in sharks, teleosts, and ...
Loxodontomys
This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.. Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.. For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.. close box ...
Patagioenas araucana
This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.. Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages..
