Biology:Actinopteri

From HandWiki

Actinopteri (/æktɪˈnɒptər/) is the sister group of Cladistia (bichirs) in the class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fish).

Dating back to the Permian period, the Actinopteri comprise the Chondrostei (sturgeons and paddlefish), the Holostei (bowfins and gars), and the teleosts; in other words, all extant ray-finned fish other than the bichirs.

In this clade the lungs have evolved into a swim bladder.[1]

Characters of Actinopteri include [2] paired fin structure, a single dorsal fin, fulcra, a large median gular and numerous branchiostegals, ganoid scales, and a valvula cerebelli in the brain.

Classification

The following cladogram[3][4][5][6] summarizes the evolutionary relationships of extant Actinopteri. Divergence time for each clade in mya are based on:[7]

Actinopteri 400 mya
Chondrostei

Acipenseriformes (sturgeons, paddlefish) 160px

Neopterygii 360 mya

Teleostei 310 mya 110px

Holostei 275 mya
Halecomorphi

Amiiformes (bowfin) 120px

Ginglymodi

Lepisosteiformes (gars, alligator gars) 150px
