Temnospondyls were a successful group of early tetrapods that lived during the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic periods. Different ecomorphotypes were present (terrestrial, amphibious and fully aquatic) with a wide range of lifestyles. Herein, we analysed several clades of temnospondyls using geometric morphometrics, Finite Element Analysis, and comparative phylogenetic analysis. Some temnospondyli clades were 'crocodilomorph' feeding analogues. The skull analysis reveals a concordance between form and feeding function, in amphibious and fully aquatic feeders. The form of terrestrial feeders could be consequences of adaptative or phylogenetical constraints. Basal temnospondyls, as edopoids, were able to leave the water and feed on land. Eryopids continued as terrestrial feeders, although some members showed a shift to increased aquatic feeding. The aquatic environment was especially occupied by archegosaurs during the Permian. After the Permo-Triassic extinction, trematosaurs and capitosaurs returned to the aquatic environment and their members were amphibious and fully aquatic feeders until their disappearance.  相似文献

There are currently three competing hypotheses seeking to explain the evolutionary origins of modern amphibians. The lepospondyl hypothesis holds that the lysorophian lepospondyls constitute the sister taxon to all lissamphibians. The temnospondyl hypothesis suggests that modern amphibians are most closely related to the dissorophoid temnospondyls. Finally, the polyphyletic hypothesis posits that the modern amphibian orders have separate evolutionary origins from among different groups of Palaeozoic tetrapods. Here, we review the character matrices used in previous studies. These data sets differ significantly in choice of characters. Therefore, we built a matrix based on data from all three hypotheses and analysed key taxa phylogenetically using both Bayesian inference and parsimony. Uncorrected, the supermatrix yielded inconclusive results, demonstrating the presence of at least two phylogenetic optima. When the data were corrected according to new observations on Doleserpeton, Eocaecilia, and other fossil forms, the phylogeny supported the temnospondyl hypothesis of lissamphibian origins. This conclusion is also supported by a careful study of character changes in the individual lineages. © 2011 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 162 , 457–469.  相似文献
