Amiiformes

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. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.

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.

Known limits

A missing branch or fossil occurrence does not imply biological absence. Internal nodes are not calibrated divergence estimates.
