Fitness and scope

topology · taxonomy

A mitochondrial topology for 595 sampled species, not a fossil or origin-time analysis.

Claim ledger

topology · medium

Mitochondrial sequences from 595 sampled species provide a broad explicit estimate of living elasmobranch relationships. The mitochondrial tree does not define the total fossil range, exact crown age or global origin of Elasmobranchii.
