This project focuses on the taxonomic classification and phylogenetic analysis of bichirs, a group of ancient African fish. By utilizing advanced morphological and molecular techniques, it aims to enhance our understanding of their evolutionary significance and skeletal development.
Polypterids or bichirs are a small group of African freshwater fishes often regarded as 'living fossils' because of their large number of primitive characters.
Bichirs form the most basal branch of extant actinopterygians and have played an outstanding role in any study on the evolution of the major vertebrate clades.
As a first step towards a modern treatment of these extraordinary ray-finned fishes, the present project will provide an up-to-date taxonomic analysis of the family Polypteridae in…
