Fitness and scope

topology · taxonomy · morphology · range

A comprehensive fossil-and-living amiid morphology study; it is not an exact order-origin clock.

Claim ledger

topology · medium

A comprehensive comparative-skeletal study samples living and fossil amiids and presents explicit phylogenetic hypotheses. Even this large Amiidae-focused monograph does not equate its sampled record with the exact global range or origin of Amiiformes.

claim:taxon:amiiformes

fossil-range · low

The comprehensive Amiidae monograph includes living and fossil amiids but does not directly validate the former 251.9 Ma–present range for all Amiiformes; the order-wide display is withheld.
