A Late Devonian coelacanth reconfigures actinistian phylogeny, disparity, and evolutionary dynamics - Nature Communications

Sep 12, 2024 | nature.com | Alice Clement |Richard Cloutier |Hugo Dutel |Kate Trinajstic

AbstractThe living coelacanth Latimeria (Sarcopterygii: Actinistia) is an iconic, so-called ‘living fossil’ within one of the most apparently morphologically conservative vertebrate groups. We describe a new, 3-D preserved coelacanth from the Late Devonian Gogo Formation in Western Australia. We assemble a comprehensive analysis of the group to assess the phylogeny, evolutionary rates, and morphological disparity of all coelacanths.
