Early origins of divergent patterns of morphological evolution on the mammal and reptile stem-lineages
The origin of amniotes 320 million years ago signalled independence from water in vertebrates and was closely followed by divergences within the mammal and reptile stem lineages (Synapsida and Reptilia). Early members of both groups had highly similar morphologies, being superficially ‘lizard-like’...
